I’m packed and ready to return to California, so I am trying out some of the edit choices in the Aviary app I have on my i-phone. I’d taken this photo of some lovely carnations my daughter received, and did some editing on it, as you can see. The background is black and white, and I chose to emphasize the color of the flower.
More Flower Photos
Here I go again.
I didn’t bring my lap top with me to New Zealand, and have been posting on my blog from my i-phone. I have been struggling with it, but I have finally figured how to do it right. I am here for five more days. I think you will be seeing even more photos while I remain in New Zealand. The flowers are all so bright here, I just have to take their photos.
Today’s Flower
I love my daily walks here in New Zealand, and often see beautiful flowers, but rarely know their names. Above is yet another lovely blossom that I can’t name. I do want to share its vibrant color with you, even though I can’t supply you with a name.
Cruise Ship Departing Pilot Bay
It was another lovely evening in Pilot Bay, New Zealand , and I was quite shocked to see a huge cruise ship docked in the harbor. Completly fascinated, I stood admiring it for quite some time.
The sky was growing darker, when Suddenly there were three long blasts of the horn, and the ship slowly backed from the berth, making its way out of the harbor. The huge vessel was both beautiful, and majestic as it moved away and disappeared into the night. This was a sight I will remember for a very long time.
Adopted From the SPCA
Look who is enjoying the sun. It’s our daughter’s cat, Tui in New Zealand. The Tui bird is a black and white bird indigenous to New Zealand. Tui is a lovely cat. She was adopted from the SPCA.
Here she is again and you can see why she was named after the black and white Tui bird of New Zealand.
