And the Weather Just Keeps Being Wonderful

(posted on 17 Aug 2016)

Another gorgeous day today. Spent the morning sorting through the beginnings of obtaining a visa for France. (Maybe it's because of the horrendous attacks, but France is getting very demanding when it comes to visas. Good on them, but it does make for an awful lot of paperwork on our part.). Treated myself to an afternoon of sketching in the park at the end of the peninsula. Warm sun, turquoise water, Oystercatchers working the beach... what's not to like?

Launching Ramp, Scotts Landing

I'm trying to be. more watercoloury... Hmmm.

TODAY'S TIDBIT

A couple of times each morning, just before the news, Radio New Zealand (RNZ) plays the call of the 'bird of the day'. Now how's that for making your listening public more aware of the natural world around them?
