Hello Autumn

Good morning dear friends, ... hope all is well with you all
The change of seasons bring for us crisp mornings, that you need to put on a jersey, beautiful warm blue sunny days and cooler evenings.  This is one of my favourite Seasons.

A pretty bouquet of yellow roses was a lovely surprise from my dear husband. Brightens up the room and I like that they symbolise joy and happiness.

Will share a few photos from my week, out on my walks and just enjoying nature and all the beauty that is around us.
The two Kereru  (wood pigeon) looked like they were having a friendly chatter to each other, perched on the telephone lines
A Monarch butterfly flying about and getting the nectar from plants and enjoying the sunny day
Waiting to pick up my husband from the ferry, I saw  these white ducks, swimming towards the Mallard ducks

It's that time of the year again, when the clocks turn back an hour and will be lighter when we get up in the morning.
It has been so dark the last few mornings when I took Bluebell out and almost seemed like the middle of the night.


Bluebell had her first outing to Oneroa beach last weekend. 
Was a little overwhelming for her, seeing so many other dogs taking their constitutions.  The next day, she was a lot more confident and got to meet so many new doggie friends. One kind lady walking her two French Bulldogs, stopped to talk and gave us some venison treats to give her. I am sure she will be happy to do this walk again.

Happy Weekend!
hugs
Carolyn

  1. Autumn is lovely in your area, Carolyn. And those yellow roses are gorgeous. What a thoughtful gift from your husband. It's so hard to get a picture of the butterfly cause they fly away quickly, but this one is pretty. That's a cool picture of the white ducks and the mallard ducks swimming toward each other. Hello Bluebell, aren't you precious.

    Wishing you happy April days, Carolyn.

    love, ~Sheri

  2. Dearest Carolyn,
    Your yellow roses are a dream!
    Our days are slowly warming up and soon enough it will be too hot...
    Life is using such an awful fast pace; hard to keep up with it all.
    Wonder what Bluebell and other puppies might be thinking when turned kind of free into the big and vast unknown world?!
    They learn fast though and memorize things.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  14. Dearest Carolyn,
    I hope you arrived well in May! We had a partly almost summery April, especially around the Easter days. Too warm and too dry but also nice in a way... But now it has become cooler and rainy, almost as if autumn time was in Europe. We spent a few days in Munich at a blogger meeting - on the trip home it was snowing. But I think it will get warmer here soon. I hope you enjoy the autumn on your side of the globe as I enjoy the spring on my half of the globe.
    Hugs to you and your family and to sweet Bluebell!
