Macro Flowers: Dedicated to Betsy and George





I am holiday and was hanging around in my Church Mt Albert Baptist Church when I saw these lovely photos beside the Forever Kids child care. I thought it could be an iris, because individually the looked like my Walking Iris I grew in Singapore. But as I google searched, irises appear to have individual flowers, and this is a spray.

Do any of you know?

I dedicate this post to my cyber friends Betsy and George. To me, they exemplify this song http://ann-mythoughtsandphotos.blogspot.com/2010/08/thursday-theme-song-will-you-still-love.html

Betsy and George, your posts and comments always make me smile. You encourage me and I feel confident to share my deepest feelings.

Now I teach you some New Zealand words, Ka Pai which means Good Job.
paki paki which means clap clap.

Watery Wednesday: Fountain



http://waterywednesday.blogspot.com/

At one end of the Down Town of Auckland towards the railway station are these projecting water jets. They remind me of a similar one in Bugis in Singapore.

At the back are the Pohutukawa trees also known fondly as the New Zealand Christmas trees. The red flowers bloom at this time.

I was up on the new Mangare Bridge when I looked down. There was this handsome six footer with his Harley. He was waiting there for a long time.

I felt like calling," Yoo Hoo!!! I am up here." LOL

Geraniums bloom this time of the year in New Zealand.The cold winter and blogging took me away from the garden.
