Out and about



I'd like to share a couple of photos from the past few weeks and just getting around to sharing them here on my blog.
First of all, I love the shade of the pretty blue hydrangeas I bought at the market the other day

I said hello to this sweet chicken who was also out walking early in the morning

ANZ Bank customers were in for a treat with the rhinestone encrusted ATM machines which were there to celebrate Auckland's Pride Festival, a few weeks back

Happy Saint Patrick's day and have a great week

May you always have walls for the winds, a roof for the rain,
tea beside the fire, laughter to cheer you, those you love near you
and all your heart might desire
~ Irish blessing

hugs
Carolyn

So nice of 'The Little Red Hen' to accompany you on your walk and that is the prettiest ATM machine I have ever seen!

  25. Oh, yet again, I love the idea of being out and about....and now it is our spring and we are going to start this ritual of observing nature and gardens, and feeling good about it.

    Dearest Carolyn, THANK YOU for coming to visit. Yes, I am bold. I am going to self-publish and I can't wait to get more underway. Right now, it's the process of selecting posts, but the fun will be the layout and revision and then, the photos..

    Have a splendid day dear one! Anita

  26. Hope you had a lovely St Patrick's day Carolyn?! The blue hydrangea looks very pretty and I spotted some beautiful blue and white floral china on your cupboard too. Is it by Burleigh?

    Wishing you a Happy weekend!
