Photo Hunt - Quiet and Signs

Sandi's Saturday Photo Hunt - Quiet

Not an easy prompt.

Here is a picture of the Zealandia Karori Sanctuary. We had to be very quiet so we didn't disturb the birds.

Gattina's Saturday PhotoHunting - Signs

This prompt has appeared time and time again on various blog hops. So I really had to hunt around for this from my archives.

Here's one I took years ago when my son was little. Each year the Silverstream Railway host a Thomas The Tank Engine day. Great fun for the kids and the adults too.

FMTSO - Signs

This week's prompt at Friday My Town Shoot Out is Signs.

And this is one of my favourite pics on signs. Taken in Bharuch, Gujarat, India some years ago.

And I love this one from my town Wellington, New Zealand

NaBloPoMo 30 - Wordless Wednesday - Little Blue Penguins

This is supposed to be Wordless but I'm going to twist the words a bit and make it Word - less.

Recently the Little Blue Penguins were affected by the oil spill in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand when the Rena was stranded and after loving care were released back into the sea - Little Blue Penguins waddle to freedom

Something cute to watch Jumpers for the Little Blue Penguins.. 

Little Blue Penguins are being sold at Skeinz.

From Wikipedia - Wellington Cable Car

The Wellington Cable Car is a funicular railway in Wellington, New Zealand between Lambton Quay, the main shopping street, and Kelburn, a suburb in the hills overlooking the central city, rising 120m over a length of 612m. It is widely recognised as a symbol of Wellington.

From Wikipedia - Wellington Railway Station

Wellington Railway Station is the southern terminus of New Zealand's North Island Main Trunk railway, Wairarapa Line and Johnsonville Line. In terms of services and in passenger numbers, it is New Zealand's busiest railway station.

Buzzy Bee

Taken from Wikipedia - Buzzy Bee

The Buzzy Bee is a popular toy in New Zealand. It resembles a bee with rotating wings that move and make a clicking noise while the toy is pulled along the ground. It is one of the most well-recognised items of Kiwiana. It received a good deal of promotion with the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1983 with their infant son, Prince William of Wales, who played with a Buzzy Bee.
