There were also the giant tortoises, hundreds of years old, a Komodo Dragon missing a foot, and pink flamingos. I’m so glad my photography skills have improved in the last 10 years. I’d love to take these photos again now.

It was a cool and dreary damp morning today so I lit the fire. Oshi went in his little ‘pod’ right beside the woodburner. Ares has his special chair beside mine. Sasha prefers distance and a little cool.
Please take a look at my Love Waikawa Beach website too.
