WAITANGI DAY

Waitangi weekend here in New Zealand – the time when we celebrate as a nation the Treaty of Waitangi.  Here in Dargaville boats raced on the mighty Northern Wairoa River.

A WALK IN MY WORLD

Just wanted to share the delight of this summer walk with you, my friends…

morning walk beside the still river
warmth among the wildflowers
and a sparrow on a signpost
pointing the way to another year
