Last three to four weeks we had unusual weather. It was still just over 20 degrees C which is quite hot for this time of year. We also had a lot of rain too.   The warm weather brought two cyclones. Cyclone Debbie was the first one and less than a week it was followed by cyclone Cook. Debbie did not reach us in the lower North Island but cyclone Cook brought heavy rain and strong winds.  People were asked to put their long weekend arrangements on hold because some roads were expected to wash away, slips could also occur.

As soon as the weather cleared again I found more toadstools popping out. I found these on the lawn on the roadside.

      Beslis iets anders. Wys jou ook as mens jou oë oophou terwyl jy buite is sien mens baie spesiale dinge soos die paddastoele. Hul is meestal heel onopsigbaar weggesteek tussen blare en plantgroei.

      Dankie, sommer met foontjie geneem. Hy het bietjie blink op kant maar dit pla darem nie te veel nie.

          Gewoonlik gaan ek uit op n foto jagtog met my kamera maar hierdie keer was die weer werklik nie ideaal om uit te gaan nie.

              Eintlik is dit heel maklik. Sodra mens weet wat om te doen neem dit baie mooi fotos. Die verkleining en vergroting maak dit nogal uit verhouding as mens dit na die tyd wil doen.

    Hulle is pragtig, maar die kleur sê vir my hulle is dalk giftig?

      Hul is beslis besonders en ook baie giftig. Die “vreemde kulte” vernietig hul sodra hul uitkom. Daar is een of ander bygeloof aan verbonde.

      Hul is beslis. Partymaal kom hul sommer in n bondel op. Hang seker af of die paddastoeldeksel as geheel in die grond beland.
