This is probably my favourite of the bunch. There were candles burning in front of an icon at St Pat's Cathedral in Auckland when I was there a fortnight ago.
These little bees were also spied in Auckland- in a shop window in Victoria Market. Cute!
There were quite a few out-of-towners for tea- and a plate of eggs was one of the choices for dinner.
I am always surprised to see these lemons this far south.
And despite the fact it was only early November, even a mellow yellow rose was in bloom. Somehow the desolation around because of the earthquakes has made the garden seem even more glorious.
