Daisies in my garden last Spring. Looking forward to the Spring again to watch these bloom. Daisies (I think) are such happy and pretty little flowers.
I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful,
that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily
do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy.

This Raspberry Chocolate mousse was good
Raspberry gave it just enough tang
And balanced out sweetness to perfection.
Now and then a little indulgence is good for the soul.
And this was a very sweet and yummy indulgence.

At work, this Buddha fountain sits on the window sill beside my desk.
Very calming and watching the water flowing is very peaceful especially when I'm having a stressful day.

This year I decided to do something creative but different from the usual arts and crafts. And so I started journaling combining aspects of "bullet journaling" "memory keeping" "scrapbooking" using photos and different forms of arts and crafts.
To kick start my journaling, I bought an HP Sprocket, a pocket photo printer. The Sprocket uses Zink paper (Zink = zero ink) which is a misnomer Suzyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05337531041006701719noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624939290837823051.post-45687444253907055942019-06-29T22:59:00.000+12:002019-07-07T16:18:25.533+12:00Many shades of Yellow at sunset
I love sunsets and sunrises. They both make the sky and the scenery so spectacular. This photo was taken in Nelson, New Zealand.

I love looking out the window in the early Wellington morning sipping my cuppa. It's always so quiet and the hills look so serene. This picture was taken a few months ago in the late Summer - early Autumn. The hills are looking greener now in Winter with the rain falling often.

I've been away from my blogs for a long time now and enjoying the Instagram experience instead.
But it is time to blog again. Thought I would change the format of my blog - share my instagram posts and weave them into themes.
I have changed the way I post on instagram by adding a quote that I hope will provide inspiration to others. So will follow the same here.

I am taking part in the Blog-A-Rhythm Bar-a-thon challenge. The theme can be anything that requires grit and endurance, but not necessarily fitness related. And there are daily prompts.
So my theme is simple, it's a blogging marathon about things to do with me in pictures, starting at one and ending at seven.

Down Down Down ...
Down on the floor I went
Yesterday at work, while trying to pick up a coin I had dropped on the floor, I felt the chair slowly slide away and down I went. Luckily it was in slow motion so I was able to break the fall safely with my arm. I think I was more embarrased than hurt! Thank goodness no one took a picture :)
Instead I'll share the view from my window.

Two days ago the Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Arden announced that she was pregnant and her baby is due to arrive in June.
But that gives me an opportunity to post some Beehive pictures.

Alleviating load by de-cluttering is satisfying
I spent all of yesterday de-cluttering. It's amazing how much one collects over time.
So far I have 2 bags for re-cycling, 2 bags of junk, 2 bags of clothes for the Salvation Army. And these are extremely large bags. Still plenty more to go.
white shopping bag gives a comparison of size
All in all an abosultely A-ok outcome.

My top three 2017 Instagram photos
Blogging took a backseat in 2017.
It was a mixed bag year.
Some memorable moments and many challenges.
I'm glad it's done and dusted.
One of the highlights was Instagram.
And I have truly enjoyed that.
So here are my top three 2017 Instagram photos.
Nelson, New Zealand
Auckland, New Zealand
Wellington, New Zealand

Some masks were scary at WOW
The World of Wearable (WOW) Art Museum in Nelson, New Zealand has some very stange looking model and masks. And some of them were extremely scary.
Here are some pictures of the masks and models that weren't too scary or creepy and you can imagine what the rest were like.
Have a magnificient week.

Daytime and lights on - wasted electricity
These pictures were taken from the bus on my way to work in the morning a few days ago at approximately 8.00am.
Couldn't help notice the lights on. Such a waste of electricity.
