Larry, Curly and Moe
of the Fjordland crested penguin clan.
We saw three varieties of penguins in the wild on our vacation, the fjordland, little blue and the yellow eyed.
For no good reason these three reminded me of the Three Stooges.
There are about 2500 pairs of Fjordland crested penguins left. They stand approx 17" tall and wigh about 8 pounds.

Frosty? Frosty?!!!!
Kiwis don't know frosty from Frosty the Snowman.
How about us Canadians, freezing rain, snow, slush sometimes all at the same time?
WE know frosty, slippery, slick, treacherous, skid and slide. They don't even know about window scrapers.

Brush-turkey
We stayed at a lodge on the Atherton table lands near Cairns Australia during our vacation.
Brush turkeys were common around the cabin we were in.
They are a large bird, with a total length of 60–75 cm and a wingspan of about 85 cm.
It has a prominent, fan-like tail that is flattened sideways.

spiral splash pad
You can walk down into this water feature at Darling Harbour in Sydney.
The water trickles down the ridges and disappears at the bottom.
Around here the water would turn to ice and you would be stuck at the bottom.
Different.

Happy Christmas
To some one from snow country it is really odd to see Christmas trees and decorations when it is 25c -75F outside.
Sydney had lovely banners on their streets including this one.
Happy Christmas everyone.

Erosion
general term for the processes by which the surface of the earth is constantly being worn away. The principal agents are gravity, running water, near-shore waves, ice (mostly glaciers), and wind
While traveling on the western shore of New Zealand we took a small twisty road up to the head lands of the western access to the harbour at Auckland. This access is not used as much as the eastern entrance due to sand bars .
They might have a small erosion problem.
