Just ... and Tree Love #4

Just chatting - taking a coffee tea break

Just decided to stop - phone battery

Just no choice - had to buy

Just love the new phone camera

Missed the letter I at ABC Wednesday. So a sneak into the letter with iPhone.

My old iPhone just decided to stop working.  The battery seemed to drain by 20% each time I used it and when it got to about 46% it would just stop completely.

I waited a few days thinking it might be the very unusual high temperatures that might be making the battery go nuts but no such luck.  Eventually I had to get a new one. An unnecessary and unexpected expense, but there's always a silver lining - loving the new camera on the phone.

And that leads me on to the tree for this week - The Pohutakawa which is native to New Zealand. It looks beautiful when it is in bloom in Summer. Pictures taken with my new iPhone.

Holidays and Tree Love #2

Seasons seem to be mixed up.

Autumn already? - Where did Summer go?

The Sun took an extended Holiday.

Left us with rainy, cold days.

Maybe Summer is late - hope so.

Holidays are fun - had two recently

I spent a week in Nelson in the South Island of NZ over Christmas. Such a beautiful city, such nice weather - warm and sunny. I had an awesome holiday there with the family. Took lots of pictures of mostly trees. Nelson has the most beautiful trees. Here's one.

I said to the almond tree, 'Friend, speak to me of God,' and the almond tree blossomed.

Next holiday was in January to Auckland to a friend's son's wedding. R and I have been friends since we were 10 years old. I had a great time and it was so good catching up with her family that I hadn't seen for years. The weather in Auckland was dreadful though.

This Time on Time

Christmas cards are ready to go

Tickets are booked for my holiday

So this year I thought I would get creative and make my Christmas cards. Took a while to get through the lot but enjoyed making them.  And this time I got there on time!

Here is the sample set I made.

Those who celebrate Thanksgiving, hope you had a good one.

Giving thanks should be something we do daily.  So today I would like to thank you all who drop by and comment or just read. Thanks for your support and care.
