New Zealand Dreamin'

With the long, cold winter in Niagara, we can always think of being in a warmer place. It's late summer in New Zealand right now and only a plane trip away (actually two because you have to get to Vancouver first!). The above NZ vineyard photo was actually taken in the fall. The grapes have just started to shrivel.

More Spring

Thanks to a local supermarket, we can bring Spring into the house early. These small daffodils were photographed with the Olympus camera by Sue.
