A fine horse at Riverstone, found when I was poking around in the yard outside the gift shops. One of my recent posts had a photo of a cat near some pots – I’d only just taken the cat photo and turned around when I saw this equine wind vane that I’d somehow missed seeing until that moment.
For: Weather Vane Wednesday Challenge – Feb 20, 2019
Riverstone is just north of Oamaru and includes Riverstone Kitchen, extensive gardens and huge gift shops. East Otago, New Zealand
I also found this wonderful wind ornament that was a beautiful thing to see. It has multiple tiers of metal leaves and the wind catches them and makes them twirl. I saw it in a light breeze and two tiers were slowly twirling and one tier was still (individual tiers appeared to be independent of the others).
Here’s a view of part of the group of gift shops at Riverstone, taken by Nigel.

I am sure you could find many more photographable motifs at these gift shops, Liz!

I didn’t spend much time in the shops but the shed I went into was all separated into colour-coded areas and this arrangement fascinated me!

Thanks so much for taking part in the challenge. My husband and I are on the look out for a weather vane and when we find one we will probably mount it in our garden rather than on our roof. Yours is a great example of that way to show a weather vane off. Thanks again. I’ll include a link back in next week’s challenge.

I like both but the wind ornament is a lovely thing to have in a garden! 🙂
