For friends and family not connected to Facebook, here are a couple of pictures taken on 18 September 2010 - beautiful snow flakes drifting down. The photos were taken from the upstairs bedroom window at home. It is quite common here in New Zealand to have lots of snow and very cold weather in spring, and every year the farmers lose hundreds of lambs in the cold snap. I heard this moring that the current estimate is 500,000 lambs lost in the South Island. It makes me wonder why the farmers do not provide shelter for the animals? It could be as simple as planting some hedgerows!
