The Flood Plain

'Do you know it floods?'





'Well I do now.'







This is not the 100 year event that one neighbour said that it was, it happens every time we have relatively sudden rain. The little stream merrily tumbling past at the bottom of my garden turns into a raging torrent which detours surely across the 'lawn' then runs back to rejoin the stream.

These snaps were taken the morning after Stormy Weather so there you go, yet another post about the weather.

Stormy Weather

Friday night at Castor Bay with wet weekend in view.

Milford in the distance

Rangitoto overseeing evrything and impossible to hide from around here. I know it's another slightly off centre snap but that is what my camera loves to do.




Almost west coast wild.


Grey skies
drove home

grabbed the camera

scurried to the beach

sand got in my eyes

took some snaps


Stormy Weather is also a jazz standard and this rockabilly queen would do it proud.
