BEAUTIFUL MAGNOLIAS...

TIME TO POST SOMETHING NICE AFTER THE BELOW DEVASTATION....NATURE CAN ALSO BE KIND AS WELL AS CRUEL...

CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE

NAIVE TO THINK WE'LL NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH NATURE'S FURY SUCH AS WE VIEW ON THE NIGHTLY TV NEWS BUT IT DID INDEED VISIT US A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO - FRIGHTENING BUT WE GOT OFF VERY LIGHTLY COMPARED TO OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITY. HERE ARE A FEW PHOTOS OF SOME OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. WE HAVEN'T VENTURED INTO THE CITY TO SEE HOW HORRIFIC THAT IS BUT IT SEEMS LIKE MANY OF THE BEAUTIFUL OLD BUILDINGS WHICH MAKE CHRISTCHURCH SO SPECIAL HAVE NOW BEEN DEMOLISHED.

MORE EARTHQUAKE HORRORS

ONE OF THE BARN GIRLS WAS ESPECIALLY BADLY AFFECTED BY THE DEVASTATION OF THE EARTHQUAKE, PORT-A-LOO FOR MANY MONTHS IT SEEMS WHILST THEY REBUILD THE SEWERAGE & WATER LINES. HORRIBLE BUT WE ARE SURE THIS WON'T HOLD HER BACK.....SHE CAN'T GET INTO HER GARAGE DUE TO THE DOOR FRAME SETTING BEING ALTERED BY THE QUAKE BUT THAT WON'T STOP HER!!!

Just a few photos of the devastating earthquake,4 September,2010.This is a road close to my home but I didn,t go out rubbernecking so do not have many photos.
