Stripes for Foto Finish

These images are of the Rewarewa Bridge over our local Waiwakaiho River. It is a recent addition to our beautiful coastal walkway.

This bridge was designed to represent a breaking wave.

More Abseiling Photos

 

 

 

Abseiling in Fossil Canyon with WIA

 

 

 

 

Wow it is almost 4 weeks since we did this activity. How time flies. We travelled in cars to Okau which is about 45 minutes north of New Plymouth.

After being kitted out in wetsuits, boots and helmets we made our way to the top of the waterfall we were to abseil down. Several of us could not resist a quick dip and slide down the rocks at the head of the waterfall. I opted to do the supposed easier of the two abseils. On reaching the bottom I dont think there was much difference between the two routes but it did help to get us all to the bottom quicker by having two ropes operating. Much fun was had by all frolicking in the water at the bottom of the waterfall.
We then walked down through the very picturesque waterway for quite a distance before having to negotiate a climb through another small creek back to where we had left our cars.

Doll Quilts

 

 

My two older granddaughters wanted something pretty for their dolls. After looking through some of my books they both decided that they wanted this angel bear. One wanted a brown bear and one wanted a yellow bear. I haven't progressed past stich in the ditch quilting so no all over quilting for these.

Sisterly Love

 

The topic for Foto Finish this week is love. This photo was taken a couple of years ago but it is still a favourite.

Foto Finish Green

 

This weeks topic in Foto Finish is green. This is another photo from our holiday in Vietnam. I love the colour of the green roof tiles on this pagoda. The surrounding green foliage is a bonus.

Fog and wiggles

 

 

We have awoken to our fourth day of fog. Also this will be the fourth day our airport has been closed - luckily we are not needing to fly anywhere at the moment but have to feel for those that have their travel plans disrupted. I spent yesterday working on some applique on the Gingham Girls quilt I am making. Looks like it will be more of the same today.

This weeks topic for Foto Finish is wiggles. These photos were taken last year on a trip along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. The first image was taken of the coastline from a helicopter while flying over the Twelve Apostles. The second was taken from the land close to where the helicopter left from.
