We went to feed our neighbours' fish and this gorgeous magnolia was outside.

52 weeks of 2021, week 5 Simplicity, à la Edward Weston
This week’s theme is “Simplicity (in the style of Edward Weston)”. Many of you may not know who Edward Weston is, and this is your opportunity to get acquainted with one of the important photographers of the 20th century. He produced photographs that transformed his subjects into abstractions of shapes and patterns. He strove to capture the essence and beauty of everyday objects...
My photo styled after his original artwork here...

A visit to Wingham on a very bright, sunny day.
Located on the Manning River, in New South Wales, Australia,
Wingham is a charming rural service centre which has remained largely unchanged by the tourism which has dramatically altered the townships along the coast. Wingham is the oldest town in the Manning Valley. Like many towns away from the coast it was first settled by cedar cutters and, after the cedar ran out, the surrounding countryside was settled by dairy farmers and beef cattle breeders.
It was named after the village of Wingham, near Canterbury in Kent, England.
Central Park
It is unusual for Australian towns to be built around a Central Park but Wingham is a notable exception. Central Park sits in the centre of the town, has a number of unique attractions and is surrounded by interesting and attractive historic buildings.
The 1884 Post Office is next to the School of Arts (1907), 1884 Post Office, then the courthouse (1938), which now houses the community centre, and the police station (1909). Adjacent to these buildings, opposite the Central Park, is the Catholic Church (1953) and at the corner of Farquhar and Bent Streets is the Manning Valley Historical Museum in a large building that started life as a general store in 1867. The building has been classified by the National Trust.

In my collection of coins left over from various travels.
The New Zealand fifty-cent coin is a coin of the New Zealand dollar. It was the largest by denomination, diameter and mass to have been introduced on the decimalisation of the currency on 10 July 1967, replacing the pre-decimal crown coin (five shillings).
Large fifty cent coins issued in 1977 circulated for 29 years before they were replaced with a smaller type and demonetised on 31 October 2006.
The reverse features the barque Endeavour sailing south. HMS Endeavour was the ship on which Captain Cook became the first Briton to reach New Zealand in October 1769. Mount Taranaki (Egmont) is seen in the distance; above left, the denomination 50 [cents]; below, ENDEAVOUR.
The artist's initials JB (for [Reginald George] James Berry) are in tiny letters on the coastline to the right of ship.
