The unforgettable beauty of lavender
Occurs in both the earth
As well as part of the many changing
Shades of the daily heavens on high.
Is quickly there, and then is gone.
Light violet, lavender,
How unique is its special glow,
Colored in nature in light lilac,
Amethyst, and airy, purple indigo.
From a poem by Gil Saenz
Light Relief: We are flushed with too many puns about this image! However you know your sewers are in trouble when the liquefaction comes up through the pipes! Taken after the 6.3 magnatude quake hit Christchurch 22 February 2011.
Light-Relief - With no power after the 6.3 magnatude quake hit Christchurch (22 February 2011) the neighbour's freezer thawed out along with their Deep South Ice Cream - so Tiggles the Kunekune Piglet thinks the spoils of the power-cut are yummy!
