The ups and downs
Leap Day! Not sure I have heard it called that before but today there was a whole feature about “Leap Day” on the radio. Traditionally it is the day when a woman can ask a man to marry them – I did just that 16 yrs ago today! But today’s photo is nothing to do with that!
Another walk around Lake Rotoroa in the centre of Hamilton and I came across this wee fellow;

A busy work day today but I made time to go out and smell the roses in the garden. Ok, this is not a rose and it has no scent but it is stunning!

Not much to choose from today – a day spent at the computer working. But as I sit in my office with the sliding doors open I am serenaded by the chatter of birds and cicadas. I am not very good at the whole standing every twenty minutes and moving around especially when I am engrossed in a job. I tend to want to just get it done. However, when the heat is sweltering and I realise I have been hunched over for a while and I am distracted by a new bird call, I get up to have a look. Two little wax eyes flit around in the tree. Unfortunately too quick to snap them but as I stand under the tree something flashes past my face and lands on the tree in front of me. Beautiful

A long day at the computer today and I had a little workmate!
