3 Feb 2018. Lake Taharoa | Kai Iwi Lakes Reserve. This was our first time visiting Kai Iwi Lakes. I recall us both being gobsmacked by this crystal-clear freshwater dune lake. โœจBeing here was magical.โœจ 

For me, a big part of the magic was/is my husband (I dislike using tensesโ€ฆ)  Heโ€™s standing barefoot in the shallows of the lake, just ankle deep.  A tall, powerfully built bald man, heโ€™s faced away from my phoneโ€™s camera and is wearing his white linen shirt and tan cargo shorts. His posture is relaxed, hands in each short pocket.  In the distance, the lakeโ€™s waters deepen and more turquoise and deeper blues can be see in the distance.  A few boats drift about as fellow visitors enjoy the glorious sunshiny day. The sky is blue as, and some clouds float by, all puffy and lightly stacked.  Surrounding the lake edges are native grasses, darker brown and orange. A rim of thick trees line the horizon.  

Inspired by #vssdaily prompt (location), I recalled a haiku* Iโ€™d previously penned:

I miss you something awful, my Love.

Hard lessons learned over time The game of telephone Wasnโ€™t really a funny game It was a hard experience Truth or dare, always take the dare Used to comfortably share My business with my friends Often they regurgitated it To upend my life and relationships Keep my own counsel

14 Nov 2020.  I didnโ€™t have the location tag set on my phone and honestly cannot recall where I took this photo. I believe this shot is from a visit to one of the surrounding areaโ€™s op shops.  One never knows what unexpected treasure might be lurking.  Unfortunately, the paper wreath hanging on one of the shopโ€™s walls wasnโ€™t for sale. This wonderful piece of craftwork is constructed entirely from sheet music and is in the form of a blooming flower (think perhaps a carnation).  

Which reminds me, perhaps I should sit down and play my piano : )  This weekโ€™s #PaintbyWords prompt was a good reminder to embrace my music.
