Oystercatchers
are some of my favourite birds to observe on the sea shore. I have posted a few
photos over the years, such as this one.
Our friend
Leon is an accomplished artist and as a
birthday present to myself I commissioned him to paint me a scene featuring
elements from this and a couple of other shots I had. Here he is with the
finished result which he calls “The Dance of the Oystercatchers”
and it hanging up in the kitchen.
In family news, Sam and Bex have now left Katherine
and are having a couple of weeks in Tasmania before returning to New Zealand
for their wedding. Before they left Sam took part in a local rugby game held
every year between a Kiwi contingent and the locals to celebrate Waitangi Day.
His picture made the local paper,
The
Katherine Times, even if they can’t get the name of our national day
correct.
Finally for Jen, here are photos of the
tomatoes. We have been getting between five and ten a day. They ripen up in a
couple of days after getting to full size, so there are never many red ones on display.
