the Rotunda by maggiemae

the Rotunda

Out to the many shots I took today, this was the one that appealed to me. In the beautiful Queens Park Gardens in Invercargill! On the left my sister in law aged 87' then daughter, Joy, husband John and son in law Charlie! They said this place reminded them of Kensington Gardens in London!

Three good things:
1 Charlie had never been to Invercargill and was suitably impressed!
2. It was Street Racing near this city for the BMC but wanted a picture is something other than a motorbike!
3. On a serious note, our nephew is ending his struggle with cancer today or tomorrow but will no longer be in such pain! Mobile phone is on all night!
A lovely family photo Maggie in a beautiful surrounding -- nicely processed & presented . God bless on your no3

My thoughts are with you on #3. So sad. It's a really nice family shot surrounded by the gardens and the Rotunda is beautiful.

This is really cool.
I'm so very sorry to hear about your nephew. Always so much more difficult to lose someone who is younger. Hugs to all that love him.

nice family photo

What a lovely family shot! I stopped overnight in Invercargill years ago but we didn't see very much of the town and left early next morning. When you are on an organised tour everything is too brief!
So sorry to hear the news about your nephew Maggiemae! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at such a sad time!
