I’ve been wanting to share a support for a few days now to celebrate how fabulous and brilliant you all are. Squares is great because of you, and I’m so appreciative of your support. So a huge thank you. And here’s my post in celebrating support – a wing strut brace high above the mountains on New Zealand’s South Island.

I almost cannot believe that today is the penultimate day of 2021’s January Squares. It has been a challenging month at times, but the squares, I hope, has offered optimism, joy and a sense of community. I am going to miss it. However we will be back in April and we still have more than 24 hours left of this month, so still plenty of time to share a square or two interpreting this month’s theme of UP.

Thank you Becky for this Photo Challenge . Love the photos of the water and mountains from the plane …here is mine …

There is something so enticing about the ‘land of the long white cloud’. I can hardly wait to go there again myself.

Way back in 2005, in the middle of winter to go skiing (because doing so was cheaper than going skiing here).

That underwing shot is stunning, Becky. I’m sorry my camels were being unruly. After running a lacklustre race they decided to post themselves before I was ready. I think they’re under control now:

Camels are so superior to us not surprised they took control!

I’ve always wanted to ride one, but the one time I contacted a place where you could the camels had all gone on holiday to Sydney!!!

Ha! That’s so funny. (Sorry to laugh at a serious life-long ambition thwarted by holidaying camels).
