Today I sort of inadvertently went birding. I mean, I like birds and all--but I don't usually trip out the door with plans to go birding. Sometimes these things happen. So I go to the Botanic Gardens to walk around quite a bit (and cut through them on my way to the grocery store), and this morning I got to see two birds I'd earmarked in the little bird book I picked up at the Department of Conservation offices: the kereru or New Zealand pigeon (above), and the eastern rosella (below). In the North American section, no less! I was so excited I stubbed my toe on the sign for honeysuckle.

these are cool, kari. and i'm laughing and you. i saw a lovely magpie yesterday (at least that's what i think it was--a very long tail). and the blackbirds are so inspired, so plump with charming orange beaks.
kari. I finally caught up on your posts (the last week and half has been jammed with tests and papers). I like it.
please jump in that water, or at least stick a toe in. It looks so blue and lovely.
it's good to hear what you're up to friend.
P.S. Have you heard? We're going to be living together next year!! :) I'm glad.
I AM excited you're living with us shell! and don't worry, I've been in the water--fully dunked.
