Getting in the way ....

Mostly when out with a camera Sora makes it hard for you to photograph here, either by walking away when you get too close or by looking away at just the wrong time. But this morning when S was lying down trying to photograph a nice sky she kept poking her nose in. That's okay Sora!

Happy birthday Sora ...... お誕生日おめでとうございます

Today is Sora's 3rd birthday. Happy birthday Sora. She got three "candles" in her breakfast and a new special toy called "Boss" as a present. A very lucky girl!

Overnight visitor ....

Mindy is staying with Sora overnight. Before dinner they went to the beach. The wind was extraordinarily strong and waves very high. There was almost not beach to walk on.

Leading .....

National open water swimming championships held in Taupo this weekend.

Christmas at the beach ......

Sora and Mindy spent time at the beach over the holidays. 

Checking out the passing traffic .....

Sora sometimes lies ir stands at the garden gate and checks out who or what is going by.

Another long period with no postings ....

Sorry it has been almost a month since posting last. Sora is fine, I guess we have just been occupied with other things. This morning Sora and S went to the point looking south across the lake. It is open rock formation and easy walking, though Sora doesn't like jumping some of the gaps. You can see the steaming from Mt Tongariro just above the end of Sora's nose. She's now tired and is sleeping. But a visitor is expected soon so she'll certainly wake up for that ....
