baby bird

Spring has well and truly arrived with this little fluffy 'silvereye' baby bird perching in our tree outside the bedroom window...
we then had a beautiful rainbow appear over the garden

snow

I had a work trip down south this week and finally got to see some snow...NZ has had a bumper ski season but is thawing out now it's spring.

This is Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown.


We got caught in a snow blizzard between Invercargill and Dunedin.
Yesterday was about 19c so spring is an interesting time in the south



Amazing drive throught the snow topped mountains between Queenstow and Invercargill which is the farthest south city in the world...I think!
