…I’m trying to take your photo!
On a recent visit to Hardwick park, we spotted the geese with their adorable babies, but by the time cameras were out, the rain had started and the goslings at this point were hiding under the wing of Mum, who was having a rest. We noticed every couple of minutes that they kept bopping their little heads out, so we kept trying to get a clear shot of this, but they were so fast diving back for cover it was impossible to focus on them in time. It reminded me of the arcade game wac-a-mole, except we weren’t trying to bop them with a mallet. Just had to share this one, despite not getting it focussed, it’s too cute. 😂
Happy Thursday ❤️
It was great to get a shot of the Sparrowhawk away from the distracting background at the bottom of the garden. I'm now working on a new perch for him.

Train 385, an early morning empty logger heads along the Bay of Plenty coastline east of Tauranga.
This is my visit visit to the Bay of Plenty since I was a kid. There are no shortage of trains here, but alas they are all led by the double-ended Dalian-built DL class Pandas - hardly the prettiest loco ever designed. At least the most recent batch of them remain clean, as the early ones are filthy.

A surprisingly clean early DL leads a metroport train away from Tauranga through the wetlands near Omokoroa. On most days there are about 7 of these fairly long trains each way, bringing containers from the Port of Tauranga into Auckland. Another clean first-batch loco.

This Bird of Paradise flower had somewhat different colors than those I usually see - bright red, yellow and the "usual" blue. Seen close to the Lily Ponds at the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens, San Marino CA. Lou, I hope you like this BOP !!

I got a '56 Chevy, with a small-block 355
I got my foot on the pedal
Yeah, you know I'm gonna be on time...

Bally Keal founder Joe Cassidy added a '56 Chevy convertible to the '55 convertible already in the stable......
Other than containers, wood is the other major cargo up here with trains shuttling between the forests, the mills and Mt Maunganui's port.
