Last week I spent the afternoon out on Tauranga Harbour. As we toured around we came close to a landslip that occurred a couple of years ago. I couldn’t imagine how the family felt as they looked out from above … Continue reading →

It is hard to not find your feet tapping, your body tingling when you are privileged to watch others dance. Especially when they transfer their emotion with the twirl of a skirt, the bob of a tassel or on the … Continue reading →

I am cheating a little here.

The Weekly Photo Challenge is change.

1. I am going with the angle that I changed two photos…in to one.

2. There is a bit of change going on in my life these days…some days I feel exactly like the ghost in the image, translucent [in the state or quality of being easily seen through]. Floating through this stage until I find whatever it is I am looking for.

p.s.

I am having a lot of computer issues these days…so if I don’t get to visit your blog, it isn’t because I don’t want to. Just getting a post up can take hours. Once I sort this out I will pop in for a visit…I promise !!!

I have been thinking about lately. Yes I do think occasionally. About how we take it for granted we will have time to do the things we want…later. Too often we let it slide past us without making each second … Continue reading →
