Lovely rainy imagery, Jo – I like the alliteration, too. I visited Bay of Plenty several years ago – I can remember the ferns.
Thank you Barb. it is certainly a lovely place to live. I can’t really imagine settling elsewhere.
body smiles feel oooh, so good. thanks for taking me there, Jo.
Thanks Brynne – I LOVE it when I get a comment from you. Makes ‘my body smile’ !!!!
Lovely image both in photo and poem! The outer scene activates pleasant inner sensations!
Thank you Gemma – what a wonderful thought.

I’m seeing these small stones everywhere. I have to be more difficult to write than you make them look. Yours is lovely.
Thank you so much – they can be hard. Trying to say it so succinctly. But it is a great experience doing the River of Stones.
That is beautiful! Thanks for sharing this small stone.
I am glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Taking a bird’s photo is a testing experience. A moving target sort of. Patience and luck mostly. Great photo and nice verse.
Beautiful – esp as I did half my growing up in NZ and fantails I remember so well
Thank you.
They certainly are a part of life here.
WoW! Amazing photo and I love “my body smiles”.
Nicely done!
Thank you Andy – it was exactly what I felt, my body ‘smiling’
love it. smiles.
Thanks
