Save the world, teach sustainability to the young











It gives a nice warm fuzzy feeling when you know you have impacted some one's life and he has grown up succeeding. Nicolas Blackburn used to come to my little playgroup. He was a lovely boy then.

Photo shows him as one of two students chosen by his school to accompany some very special guest to the school.
The Oscar-winning US actor was in town with fellow The Amazing Spider-Man 2 cast member Andrew Garfield for the Earth Hour 2014 event at the school in West Coast Road. The school has a sustainability programme and planted trees.

Songkran festival


The Songkran festival (Thai: สงกรานต์, pronounced [sǒŋ.krāːn], listen; from the Sanskrit word saṃkrānti,[1] or literally "astrological passage") is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day from 13 to 15 April. It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia.

It is commonly known as the water sprinkling festival.

It is early in Auckland at Rocket Park.

Currumbin Sanctuary: Kissing Kangaroo


I love visiting this place on the Gold Coast of Australia.
Do click on the link of my introduction of the Currumbin Sanctuary at my other site.


I was fascinated at the friendliness of the kangaroos especially this particular one. He was kissing people who were brave enough. I suddenly became meek as a mouse.
