30 Day Blogging Challenge Day 13 New Lynn, New Zealand https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1811027-d2369720-Reviews-Orakei_B... Look at these pictures for inspiration and then write either a poem or a short story. Your entry fee is 750 gps and you have the opportunity to win an Imagery Merit badge as an added bonus for your entry. Show me what you got! I was drawn to the photograph of the fallen tree over the misty morning waters.... Morning lays dormant Quiet Except for the buzz Of wildlife Some settling to their beds While others take up the post The air vibrates with unseen energy The fog masks any movement In the misty morning. Undercover, Life continues on Even in this fallen tree Which has given its living life To now become fodder For those that work through the decay Taking life And returning it to once was... Soil nutrient rich and plentiful Where the cycle of life Continues on In harmonious balance. Soundtrack of My Life Who I Am - Casting Crowns I love this group. The words are inspirational. Casting Crowns is a favourite contemporary Christian group. It's pop music with a message... a message I like and feel strongly about. It is a message that is positive and uplifting. We all need a ick me up and a reminder that we are more than alone in this huge world. |

We're having dinner at Boldrum's Kitchen, supposed to have a great selection of food choices. Hope your appetite is back. Jet lag is murder.

I know Elle ![]() ![]() https://concreteplayground.com/auckland/arts-entertainment/culture/ten-of-the-be... I'd love to check out some local authors. I'd also love to people watch and take some time to write. Soundtrack of My Life Beautiful - Mercy Me A little inspiration and a pick me up. Mercy Me is one of my favourite Contemporary Christian bands. I find I like listening to this type of music because it gives me the upbeatness of pop music, but the words are positive and inspiring. In a world where things can get so dark and negative one needs to be able to see the light the world does actually have... and it comes from the goodness of loving people... regardless of their religious affiliation. Goodness is light. Goodness is love. And LOVE wins every time. |
