Pinot Pond (and Damsels in distress)

Everyone involved in photography has had a moment when they see something and think that there is probably a picture to be had there sometime.
The Boss and ME have seen this lots...We go past it every time I go to THC (Tussocks Holiday Camp) as it is right there on the side of the main highway and has been, for a number of years.
Well this morning here we were heading back to THC as The Bossess and her handsome dashing driver laddie, are heading back to Christchurch for yet another meeting (she is really into this and I admire her heaps as Wheatens are into this tooo). AND the sky is doing really interesting stuff as we head towards Cromwell so The Boss says that we need a foreground and there...low and behold is the spot that we have been breezing past for years except now it had this huge neon sign flashing above it that says NOW NOW NOW and the Boss hits the brakes which work really well after being WOF'd AND grabs his camera bag AND finds the fence just the right height to avoid getting a squeaky voice AND the rest is history...so to bark.

Right about now you will be wondering about the Damsel bit in the title.

Ah...Well there we were in the booking in office at THC and this lady bustles in.
I could tell just by sniffing her that her SUDS level (Subjective Units of Distress) was through the roof as she haltingly explained to the booking in lady that she has lost her phone. The B.I. Lady suggested that she ring it and handed her the official cordless phone but The SUDS lady was in such a state that she couldn't get it to work so The Boss (being the perfect gentleman AND handsome driving laddie, (HEY... blame The Bliptons for this bit) that he is, got his phone out of his pocket and dialled the number offered by the SUDS lady.
"It's ringing", he said.
The SUDS lady gave a little jump and said "Oh" in a slightly higher voice.
"I can feel it"
"It's in my pocket"
and proceeded to remove it (an Iphone 4s) and give it a little kiss.

The Boss thought his moment had come but she just thanked him instead.

Rescuing damsels can be a variable business you kno.

Oh and in case you are wondering about the P Pond, it is located in the middle of a large Vineyard and supplies the irrigation water essential to the operation AND NO I did not even get out of the car AND I wouldn't have anyway 'Cos it's a pond...OK?
Sigh
