With the upcoming Red Nose Day on 23 August (www.rednoseday.co.nz) it is a chance to don on a red nose, act silly, share comedy and laughter and raise money for charity. No matter the red nose, the aim is still the same – to help right social inequity. In the past, globally, the day has helped educate people, build safe communities, and has provided much needed health relief. The images of the wonderful Clown Doctors remind us that work of smiling also happens throughout the year to help sick children in hospitals (www.clowndoctors.org.nz). No matter what the red nose and what the charity and what the day, you will be helping someone – to laugh, to donate, to be positive and to be silly, just by wearing a red nose.

I’m not much into messy play with my children. But thanks to inspiration from www.kiwifamilies.co.nz I very much broke the mould and made my kids ‘slime’. We had a great time – bathroom was covered in pink goop and the kids were focussed and happy. Happy children = happy parent!Slime August 2013 Slime August 2013

‘Mothers Network is run by mothers, for mothers and about mothers’. It is a network and a charity I consider important in the support of mums being the best they can be. Here, the Mayor of Wellington, Celia Wade-Brown, and other supporters of Mothers Network were invited to promote Mothers Network. I went along to the Mayor’s office to capture the meeting. http://www.mothersnetwork.org.nz

Late in May this year I was privileged to be invited along to photograph the Clown Doctors New Zealand (http://www.clowndoctors.org.nz/ and https://www.facebook.com/pages/Clown-Doctors-New-Zealand-Charitable-Trust/171647076216824?ref=ts&fref=ts). They performed a flash mob at Wellington airport then took their talents and entertained patients and staff at Wellington Hospital.

“The Clown Doctors New Zealand Charitable Trust is an organisation which combines creativity with social responsibility. Its mission is to bring joy and laughter to children in hospitals, and lift the spirits of people in need as it contributes to a more heartfelt and humorous society.”

Another snippet of the Clown Doctors day in Wellington. Enjoy!

Members of the Wellington Youth Brass Band entertain with an array of music from Beethoven to Lady Gaga (who would have thought?). Their performance was part of the Wellington Regional Brass Band Contest 2013.

There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!

Its a toadstall thing

Bart: How come Lisa gets a pony?

Homer: Because she stopped loving me.

Bart: I don’t love you either, so give me a moped.

Homer: And I know you love me, so you don’t get squat.

I love autumn. It is full of extremes – vibrant colour, textures, changing weather, warm days, cold days, wet and dry days. It makes me pause and think of life and the preciousness of living…
