Continue reading →: Heathcote River Clean UpBruce and I helped with the Heathcote River clean up today – doing the Forest & Bird section by Ferrymead. It was quite an education seeing what ends up in our river. The river was cleaned up in three other sections as well and next year they are going to…

Continue reading →: Ferrymead ParkThis path goes from Bridle Path road into Ferrymead Park. I went for a short walk there this afternoon to enjoy the last of what has been a beautiful day with amazing weather for May.

Continue reading →: Woodham Park and Monarch Butterflies
We had beautiful weather today so at lunchtime I decided to head to Woodham Park on Woodham Road. Every Autumn / Winter there are Monarch butterflies ‘over wintering’ in this park – clustering in their hundreds in the large trees. I didn’t see any clusters today – it may be…

Continue reading →: Green Grass in the City
Looking towards the city from Madras Street it occurred to me how odd this photo will look in a few year’s time. Once there were buildings here – now grass and this large fence (which I think has sectioned off an area that’s going to be a large playground).

The bronze bull is back albeit temporarily. It’s current on display in my favourite little street – New Regent. Cantabrians are very fond of this sculpture and it will eventually have a permanent home in Christchurch. The bull is by artist Michael Parekowhai.

Continue reading →: Canadian Geese in the Central CityIt’s a Canadian invasion! I’m used to seeing Canadian geese around the estuary and other wetland parts of the city, so I got a surprise to see them right in town (this is by Oxford Terrace). They appear to have made themselves quite at home.

Spotted on a building in Manchester street – very clever.
