In Akaora with my Flickr and blip friend. February 20, 2016, New Zealand.
It was warm and wonderful so we packed up a lunch and headed for the hills and bays around the banks peninsula. It reached will over 30c today.. a bit too hot at times and there was no wind at all.

Foxtail Agave (Agave attenuata)
I noticed this one in the neighbourhood today. Hopefully when the rest of the tail flowers I will be able to get some images of the flowers without having to step off the footpath and into the garden.

....there was only darkness (save for the lights from the near by town) - and in that darkness, the stars shone bright over his/her church. I am not a religous person but agnostic in the sense that I like to believe there is a supreme being watching over us who designed everything we see down to the finest yet vastest detail. Now that I'm back home, I'll get a chance to edit more images from New Zealand! It has been a great trip and we may even use the rest of our annual leave later this year to visit the rest of South Island or a first foray into North Island
New life-new hope.....!
Have a great week guys.Thank you for comments and faves.

Climbing a mountain at 6 in the morning is one great way to start a new day - Have a nice weekend :)
Life moves forward.
The old leaves wither,
die and fall away, and
the new growth extends
forward into the light.

The new leaves of the Ponga Fern Tree unfolding.
The Maori term for this unfolding spiral shape is Koru.
These are an irresistible cliche in this part of the world.
Call it cheesy - I don't care!!! ;-)

A little work with levels.
Dawn points, and another day
Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles and slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning.
T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets
A new beginning requires a need to burn the past
And how we burn the past can be different for every person
Most often you must deal with it in some way
There are no quick fixes
You need to make plans
You need to go through with them
Sometimes you need to change the plans
They didn't work
Perhaps you must take ten steps back and evaluate
Start all over again with new plans
Are there feelings involved
Yes of course
There are always feelings involved
That's why we often don't want to go through with the changes in life, because we know we will hurt others and we will be hurt ourselves
If you feel deep inside that this change is something you must do, then it's your intuition that talks to you - and you are actually listening
Hurray
Keep up the good work
Follow your path
Burn down the past
Do it properly
But in a good way
With your well thought words, I know you have them
Use them
Remember we have a responsibility for our own life
And so do they
Taking responsibility for others must always be done with caution
They have a growth too you know, and you might slow them down if you take too much responsibility
Be Safe
Love you
Always

It is just about time for the Northern folks to head down here to sunny Florida for the season. The bridge is down, awaiting the traffic to come swirling down into the neighborhood...

Over time I discovered that, with the passage of time, every form of art, whether writing, painting, music, sculpture, becomes simpler by the hand of its author.
It is as if from birth, each of us, self complicates life with restlessness, anger, unhappiness. As if it were so difficult to understand who knows who or who knows what. Then, as a lighting in the mind and, as we age, the words become simple, the linear signs, the stylized figures ... everything takes the essential form ....
But will it be an arrival or a surrender?
Who knows, in any case, if it makes us feel better, let it be....
PS Maybe it's better when I work incessantly and I do not have time to think : ))
I find the piece of music I found very beautiful, I do not know, I think I started from this piece, and then I get to this image, I hope you like it as a beginning for a new year together.
Good new beginning to all of you
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations, everything is very much appreciated, as always....

Our hike begins at the top of a high sand embankment. Trodden paths lead down on both North and South sides. It's our first beach hike of the New Year, on a New beach for us. A New Beginning.
