What do you mean, it's raining? #2

A second photo taken on a rainy Sunday in Auckland's CBD. This wee girl was such a delight to watch, much liker her brother.

What do you mean its raining?

Well there's certainly been a lot of rain in NZ this 'summer!"
This little dude (and his sister) did not mind one bit. It was a delight watching them both on Sunday, playing in the water spouts outside the Atrium along from Britomart.
The adult with them - possibly Grandma - was to be applauded. They were gonna get wet anyway, so she just let them go for it.

I love the fact that he is having so much fun, while the couple in the background are huddled under an umbrella...

Out on the Street

Just grabbed a small self indulgent moment amongst the nervous readying for the start of my academic year... a little play with a photo from today.

I attended an Intermediate course with Three Little Wishes today - great tutors, quality programme; highly recommended. Even if the day was not the best weather wise, we had a lovely little group (lovely and small, and lovely people) and I definitely had fun gaining new knowledge and skills.

Our day began in Albert Park, before we meandered down Queen St to Britomart (no trains today, repairs!) and then on to Atrium on Elliott as the Viaduct would not have been much fun in the rain.

I took this on Queen Street. I have always been fascinated by Street Photography, but not owning the longest of lenses, I feel a bit self conscious out there snapping people as they go about their daily business, in case I get snapped.

I guess this shot is a reflection of that. But I hope to get out 'on the street' more and give it more of a go - need to keep getting braver to keep getting better!
