When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. – Lao Tzu
So this is not a Little Drummer Boy post, because I have something else to share with you.
I have become involved with our local A & P Show. Helping to run the photography competition, and a few other things. I was also involved in helping with the signs to advertise it.
Today when coming home from Tauranga I saw the sign. My images up on a billboard for everyone to see.
I did a U turn and went back to take a photo…but not before I did a little HAPPY dance. Feeling ridiculously proud right now.
Every photo is one of mine.
Every one.
Just about bursting with happiness.
So of course I interrupted my scheduled posts to share this news with you.
And now for a version from New Zealand’s own Hayley Westenra…enjoy !!!!

Mostly this is the place where I feel the air blow through me and clean out all that has crowded in.
It sets me right again with the world.
I head for the sea.
Feeling very happy…the following photo got 2nd Prize in our biennial Arts & Murals Festival which just took place in Katikati. First time I have ever gotten anywhere in this competition. And with one of my favourite shots. Thinking of framing it and keeping it.

Okay…I am done. It is a very wet Sunday here in the Land of the Long White Cloud. The fur babies and I are cuddled up on the bed and fully intend to waste the day away snuggling.
In the peaceful order of reality

a place for me exists

A friend contacted me after noticing a pair of Spur Winged Plovers had made a nest near our local golf course. So day after day I went out and watched and of the four eggs three hatched. Plovers are quite territorial and on more than one occasion Mama and Papa Plover let me know my presence was not appreciated. They have now moved on to an adjacent paddock thank goodness. I was having attacks of panic at the end when I would go there and see the chicks on the road. Hopefully they will live a long and wonderful life.
