Snapshots of Tauranga – Life at No. 22

Snapshots of Tauranga #39

This week I'm focusing on something way more positive: something Les and I enjoy doing —watching and listening to birdlife.

It's the small things, sometimes even the minuscule, and definitely not so much the enormous gestures, that matter as life moves on.

Storms, like our own inner reckonings, arrive not always in anger, though in a sort of relief. A mercy.

Last week, I managed to go for a reasonable cycle ride, which included meandering around Papahenga - the Matua Saltmarsh.

Warmth and nostalgia are real feelings when viewing all those homely, brown objects screaming "Pick me” from the warmer.
