My lil sis has made the move to Aussie and set up home in Bondi Beach, Sydney. Good luck and no.........this ain't my sis!

The sensational colours of the Autumn season.

Steely formed structure, Paris.

The immensly intense presence within the Aotea Centre of Simple Minds, still going strong!

What the heck is with fuel prices at the mo!!

The rain has petered out and the sunshine is poking it's warmth up over the horizon of a new day.

My lil sis has taken the silver bird and flown the coup to experience life outside our fair shores. Good luck, take care and be sure to watch out for those bloody Aussies!!

Anything to keep the winter chill away.....BRRRR!

50th celebrations at the Mahurangi Hall. Happy birthday Brent.

The stary sky on a moon drenched night. Happy Mothers Day mum.....

For those in the know, this is the hallowed turf of Aucklands premier rugby and cricket ground, Eden Park. A balls eye view of the terraces from the 50 metre mark. Sublime....

Flight home.

Thunderstorms encroaching across Great Barrier Island.

Time for some images from Great Barrier Island. Early morning, Medlands Beach, south eastern coast.

Reflections from beneath.

So many reflective surfaces........

Am heading away for a few days to Great Barrier Island, nestled on the outer rim of the Hauraki Gulf. A subtropical paradise with no power. WOOHOO. So I'm prempting things with a few sneeky advance pics. Enjoy.

The mighty Rangitoto Island.

It's quite strange, the weird and wonderful things you find in and around the back streets of a city. Welcome to the new month of May as well.

More reflecting...

Lurking....

New vs. old....

Anzac Day. Lest we forget.....

The New Zealand Air Force aerobatics team, The Red Checkers.

Was it the Blue or Red team?

Was it Ford or Holden?
Once again, Holden takes out Round 2 of the V8 Supercars at Pukekohe Raceway. Although Ford came second, third, forth and fifth!!! Not that it matters......!!

Then the TRAFFIC home!!!!!!

Shine on you crazy diamond...

Kingsland.....raging on a Friday night.

The Queens giving their all....

Red sky at night......

Reflections....

A tiny piece of colour in the blackness.

The free-loaders trying to spy a view at The Rolling Stones concert.

Western Springs....

MMM.........beer, and a long weekend to boot! HOORAA!!!

Throwing cd's into the microwave could be detramental to their health!!!

When the sky meets the city. Nature vs. Man.

Trying to get the hang of the new toy, the camera not the puzzle!!!

Some afternoon delight!!

It seems Autumn is going to be as crazy as Summer. Wind, rain, heat and humidity make for an interesting seasonal change.

Well........we are pretty much back in buisness. It's been a bit of a mission trying to get back on track when everything has been turned upside down or removed from your life all together. It's not the material things that can be replaced but years of clutter and memories that make you... you. But here we are, a life lesson learnt!!
