At the festival, I went to check out this giant octopus lookalike.

It was a place for lost kids. I don't know if there were lost kids but there were people who lost things.

This post is late because I went to our Waitangi Celebrations or New Zealand national day celebrations. I stayed at the marae and spent the whole Sunday educating the festival goers on recycling.

This was a family festival, with no alcohol and drugs. There weremany police to supervise as well as the Maori warden. I didn't see any trouble and everyone had fun.

This annual event is held at Okahu bay domain.

Cockscomb flowers are also known as Wool Flowers or Brain Celosia, suggestive of a highly colored brain. The flowers belong to the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. Cockscomb bloom with a compacted crested head 2-5 inches across, on leafy stems that are 12-28 inches long. The flower's name is suggestive of a rooster's comb. Cockscomb Flower blooms from late summer through late fall. The Celosia plant is an annual dicotyledon.

This is a flower of my youth. My grand dad used to grow them. In Chinese, we called them Kai Kuan Fa.

I saw this patch at the Sandringham village.

watery wednesday: diving from a pier

This boy, aged 8 jumped more than 20 times. I told his dad that he was a brave boy. His dad replied he was stupid. He wanted to jump from the pole, his dad stopped him.

Here the dad jumped from the pole.
