A wee Wax-Eye enjoying the nectar in the Red Hot Pokers or Knifofia sp in the Gardens this morning, , these south African flowers always make me smile on dreary winter days.

I went for a wander through the cemetery above the Gardens today, the detail on this old gravestone caught my eye  – an old curtain with tassel. I feel very peaceful walking around reading the lichen covered stone, trying to decipher the words – my only company being a solitary blackbird . .

  A beautiful card my youngest daughter, Ellena, sent me for Mothers Day in May – my girls always pick lovely cards for me, they know what I like and poke around in book shops looking for that special one that Mum will like ! She found this in the Victoria University bookshop in Wellington. .

 This is the funky birthday card my eldest daughter, Meg, made for me this birthday – her quirky paintings are popular with many people – I love her work, she is so clever . .
