Christchurch Earthquake

If you are a reader from Christchurch, New Zealand, would you kindly e-mail me privately at chocolatelilies [at] gmail [dot] com? I'm trying to figure out the best way to help & I'm wondering about the state of a specific part of the city... Thanks!

I'm surprised that we don't hear more about this here in the U.S. The damage is just horrible...

Sheepish

This was on my last weekend. We drove into the hills for amazing views in all directions. Steep. Slightly scary. Lots o' sheep.

The lambs just make me wanna go, "Awww. Awwwww." So cute.

The lil' path there in the background is the road & the sheep were very smart. They didn't want to be a Sunday lamb stew, so they quickly moved out of the way. But, with so many sheep all over the place, it was almost certain that there would be a sheep bum in the picture somewhere.

Well, in Kaikoura the cows had an awesome view. Here in the hills it was the sheep!

Kiwiana

From a hot & humid Virginia summer to a cool New Zealand winter. The beaches are so beautiful. I can't find the words. It's amazing how geraniums & alyssum bloom here in winter. My camera doesn't do the beauty justice. I like the European flair to life here. I'm not anticipating traffic from "the other side" yet, so I fear one day I will get run over. :-) The picture was a random shot into water at Willowbank. Cropping & sepia the only edits. Something about that picture speaks to me...
