The Herbaceous Border in the Botanic Gardens in one of my favourite spots in the gardens during summer. It’s fabulous to photograph and I’m always in awe of how quickly everything grows there. Such an asset to the gardens. I also visited the rose garden and the one rose that…

I decided to come the long way home today as I’ve become increasingly frustrated with my commute down Ferry Road and the Ferrymead bridge intersection is nothing short of diabolical (try turning right onto Bridle Path Road – I dare you!). So to get back to my home in Mt…

Someone has gone to a bit of trouble to decorate a small grassy area by the roundabout on Port Hills / Martindales Road. Then, just a bit further up the road I spotted this nativity scene.
