chooks + chooks

we already had a big duck hunt/fiasco about a week ago. free range duck w/ ducklings needed some help defending themselves on the crusty paddock to grow old and quacky. they were netted and placed in a nice big chicken hut. only after i dodged the mama duck flying at me instead of nabbing her. paul was pissed but big birds are pretty darned freaky. in the photo below there's a similar scenario taking place but substitute duck for chicken (aka chook). again, mama chook came at me (they must sense my weak-link-ness) and got by. paul and heather (pictured below) took matters into their own hands successfully. next time i'll stand clear and film the event.

oooh! Piha beach -- looks much nicer than Capri! Good start with the embroidery; I especially like the berry topper.

You guys are living the life! Hugs all around from me. THe embroidery is spectacular!

I'd steer clear of the birds too. They have sharp talons.

Dune looks like Kyle to me in this picture!? I love this expression ;0) My fave photo is the one with Dune laying on the cement banister with the two little girls, priceless.
