A Rainy Monday

Here are some spring pictures for my northern-hemisphere friends. We won't see tulips here until October :(

Botanical Gardens,Wellington, New Zealand.

Have a sunny day where you are!

3 things that make me happy on another Monday

Our new school year has only just officially begun, but already I can feel my shoulders tensing up, and my "to-do" list is of epic proportions. Plus, there are family issues... how old do my kids have to be before I no longer have to worry about them?

So - I'm taking some time out from working and worrying to visit 3 things which have the capacity to cheer me up. Instantly.

#1: Spring flowers

Massed tulips in the Wellington Botanical gardens

#2: Painted skies

Sunset from my window

#3: Water

Well, you know there'd have to be a water pic in there somewhere!

A peaceful, tranquil morning. Not today!
