Sweet Leek Flowers

Today is the fourth anniversary of the devastating Christchurch earthquake. Still there are thousands of people living in broken houses and/or on sunken flood-prone land waiting to hear from Government agencies and the insurance companies.


For the first time in a long while there is a fantail in my garden. Not just any fantail either. Instead of the usual pied fantail this one is dark brown with a black tail. As it is very fluffy I suspect it is a young one. In typical fantail fashion it checked me out by fluttering in a circle close around my head, chattering loudly.
