Doggy paws.

Planting season is upon us, and I reckon it will be a good year.

Just another day in God's own.

Ok so I maybe rigged our photo competition by not only being a competitor but also being the sole judge. So this is Brendon's master piece (a little too good if you ask me).

A week without her is very hard.

Our get-away took us to some great locations. Here are just a few stops.

A silver fern. Classic.

I think this world needs to hug trees more. It makes you feel great.

The smallest flower I could find.A lazy Saturday prompted us to create a competition; who could come up with the best photo shot only in the backyard, I think this is the easy winner. What do you think? The competitor, careful, he is dangerous behind the camera. I think I took him too lightly.

This guy is fantastic, www.treverhoehne.blogspot.com take a look, he's unreal.

The devastating remains of the Ice Pak factory fire that killed one fireman and injured nine others.

A massive balloon festival at the lake provided a sweet chance for parents to wake up at the crack of dawn and take their kids to see all sorts of random hot air contraptions lift off. Even a great big Darth Vader head and a pirate child in a cider barrel.

Kids were going crazy watching the balloons, that is why I like these ones best.

If you need to get some work done, just take down one of these coffees which were originally created for Godzilla.

Each country seems to have there own interpretation and devastating story about war. It is a brutal fact that no place on this earth is exempt from this. It sure is unfortunate that we have to define war for the future generations. A few more tree shots, this one has been on here before but I wanted a better shot of it, so I did just that.

These feet are now twenty five years old. I love these feet. Some friends of ours at a beautiful ocean view, we love hanging out with these guys.
