Another stunner here in the Waikato today. I just loved seeing the sun rising over the Pavement Poetry down by the Oranga Lake this morning. Has anyone been along to enjoy some of these amazing works? Check out more at Mayhem Literary Journal - Waikato's Creative Writing Journal.

Loving these crisp winter days here at Waikato. Here's a cool shot of the blue sky through the Aurei sculpture in front of the Student Centre.
Aurei represents a famous proverbial saying from King Pōtatau, the first Māori king: There is but one eye of the needle through which the white, black and red threads must pass.
