Little River, thy name is happiness

Little River is flat out one of my fav places in the world, not in the least because my favorite piece of art ever in the world lives there and I visit it from time to time.  In case anyone is interested, since it's my birthday soon and all, it's an etching called "Riley and the Ruru" and it lives at the very bottom of the pile of etchings on the table near the door.  It's always at the bottom, because that's where I put it in the vain hope nobody will buy it.  One day, I know, I'll visit it and it'll be gone.  Sad day, but I guess there will be the hope someone bought it for me and it awaits me, one fine day.

Ha ha, so anyway, I visited it on Saturday with The Sumo and Tighty Whitey.

And I took some pictures, for which I was mercilessly ridiculed, but they turned out nice so I'll show them.



AND I saw a Kotuku (white heron) which has so far just been a dream of my life.  I saw it at Catons Bay.  Oh it burned my heart, oh yes it did.

Birds carry messages for me and I have listened until now I know what the message is.

This is it:



I Am always with you.
