Of course, I had to stop. Dinner could wait.

In a park in #Aukland, #NewZealand, I think it was Albert Park but cannot remember for sure, there are lots of interesting big and twisted trees. Here's one of them, for #ThickTrunkTuesday.

Dewdrops on an apricot coloured Rose petal in my garden. I really enjoy the “getting out “ in the backyard and practicing my photography techniques at this time of the year, Sony a7iii and fe90 macro lens.

I had a plan for tonight's moonrise, but the clouds had other ideas!
But I did rather like the glimpses of moon through the thinner clouds as it rose higher.
