We had a lovely but long drive from Auckland to New Plymouth. There were lots of photo ops along the way, but no one was willing to stop for me. I found quite a few once we got to New Plymouth, including some that are rather amusing. Hope you enjoy these.

The bikes could be anywhere. I just liked the way they were arranged and the way the light was hitting them.

I've never seen anything like the second shot. It needs no explanation.

In the photo titled "Looking Downstream" a man and his son had just finished several hours worth of rock stacking. When the tide comes back in, it will flood this stream and ruin his efforts. He didn't seem to care.

Went outside this morning to fill all the feeders. It was pretty early. As I was walking across the yard I saw this guy laying in the grass. He was very cold and didn't look to good. He has one eye missing. Took him in the house to get warm. Went back out and filled the feeders. When I got back in the house he was sitting with the cat.:) And me like a dummy didn't take any pictures.:( As soon as I sat down, he flew over to my shoulder.:) Got him to eat some seed and use an eye dropper to give him a drink. Put him back outside this afternoon. Now if he is around, he flies to my shoulder.:):)
