Otago in NZ is like this.. by maggiemae

Otago in NZ is like this..

In NZ the province of Otago there are multitude of wonderful scenes… seascape, cliffs. desert, lakes, rivers. This is one of them. Today as we travelled down to the Dunedin Hospital for HJ to get a nasty oomph off his nose, here at the lagoon, the tide was full and the wind was calm!

Three good things
1. John came out of the minor day surgery with a smaller nose!
2. I spent the time at a movie “ The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” —good to fill in the time. I do feel that the major actors were not in their usual element. Maggie Smith, Judi Dench etc.
3. I drove home - like to be in charge of the vehicle for once!
And by the way, the mattress was like Cloud Nine!
Love the tones in this, the greys give it such a still and serene feel

@brillomick Thanks Mickey! He will be fine when the swelling goes down and the graft of skin takes!

Oh I do hope John will be feeling the benefit soon. This is a lovely picture the reflections are so clearly defined because of the calmness.

@ceilidh Thank you Margaret! When we came back this way, the tide was out and a wind ruffled the surface of the water so not the same!

@shesnapped The first one is by far the best, I think, Ashley. The second is to itsy bits!

@tristansmum thanks Stephanie - this scene calms my mind while I look at John's awful nose mess! It will get better though!
March 27th, 2015  
@pandorasecho the first one is the one I really enjoyed, Dixie! The second one was 'ho hum' to me!
March 27th, 2015  
@darsphotos I can't call it fun, Darlene - you know what it would be when your beloved is under the knife! But it passed the time and I had to manoeuvre through traffic and parking stations which I normally don't do! But did it!
March 27th, 2015  
Wonderful reflection and shot
March 27th, 2015  
Beautiful scene. Love the reflections in the water. I have to tell you I loved the "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel". I enjoyed the second one too, but thought the first one was best. No pun intended.
