Happy Birthday . . .

Today I have celebrated being another year older.  My technical advisor for the camera also my son in law sent me a UV filter and the forester my husband is going to buy me a tripod.  My son doesn't do birthdays but he is sending out the invitations to his wedding and had hoped ours would arrive today.  This evening we went out to a wonderful Italian restaurant and I took this pic of the trees decorated in their twinkly lights. 
Mono Monday was well supported this week and I made time to view a lot of the entries for bigger  and met more blippers.  The mystery Tiny Tuesdays were fun to try and guess.  Mine is reveled in the extra.  A wonderful community of interesting people and images and I'm pleased to be taking part.
P.S this is Arawa St opposite the library for BTW and Patrea
