with love to the people of Christchurch
I have been looking at numerous tragic images of the devastation caused by the earthquake in Christchurch, where both my parents were born. When so many people are suffering, and I am a long way away here in Las Vegas, it is hard to know how to respond. After 9/11, I went out into my garden in Wellington and photographed a bush with bright red flowers. I was looking for something beautiful and uplifting.
So today I am posting this photograph I took recently of a cool cactus doing its thing under tough conditions. Love to everyone in Christchurch.

I know... It is quite shocking and surreal.

Sending them your love Jo is all that we can at the moment....

The wonder of technology. It is great to be able to see bits and pieces of what you and Matt are seeing and experiencing.
