‘Dangling Epiphytes’
A shot of greenery in my mother’s garden – epiphytic plants, stag’s horns, I think.
Epiphytes grow on trees but do not feed off them.
They rely on the host trees for support but without damaging them.
This is, I reckon, a good way to be.

‘Stuck On You’

‘Dreamland Coming On’
A photo of the early evening sky in Auckland a couple of hours ago.
Posted because of a certain dreamlike quality that resonated with me (the title is borrowed from lyrics in a favourite Joni Mitchell song that went running through my mind as I reviewed the picture – thanks Joni!).


‘The House In The West’
…the last house before the west goes wild…

‘Facades’
A view of the grand exterior facade of Auckland’s Civic Theatre, built in Moorish Revival style (trust me, that is an actual thing).
I love the old place ( it has an artificial night sky ceiling in the main theatre, too!).
I have also adored many films and music performances at the venue. So many great memories.
It’s all about the facades – things that are not always real, projected as if they are, taking us on a fantastical ride.
I guess that’s the nature of entertainment.
It’s part of life too. Hard to know what is genuine sometimes.
But if you have to have a facade, make it a grand one!

‘Lunchtime In The Plaza II’
…general relaxation…

‘Baby Bird’
This lone, young and tiny bird (a pigeon, or dove maybe) pecked around on the bush path for food and seemed to have no inclination to fly away from us.
Eventually, it fluttered upwards and alighted on a branch, posing for this picture.

‘Lichen Love’
…growth in the shadows – what’s not to like, and love?…
