Located in the Botanic Gardens – this is the little garden with the Azaleas and Magnolias and various other colourful flowers that is opposite the Curator’s House Restaurant.

Continue reading →: The Green Room – China Mosaic Chair and Ottoman Garden
This little garden is on Colombo street near Tuam Street. It features a beautiful chair and ottoman that are made out of china that was broken during our earthquakes. The china was donated by Christchurch people and turned into this wonderful artwork. The groups behind it are Greening the Rubble…

Continue reading →: ChaffinchI spotted this Chaffinch in the Botanic Gardens and sat down on a bench to watch him flit around. They are quite cute birds and will come quite close to humans – they often hop around the ground, so they are fun to photograph.

Continue reading →: Colourful Plastic Sheep on High StreetHigh Street has been invaded by a flock of very colourful striped plastic sheep. It’s a nice bit of whimsy to an area that is still struggling and needs its share of revitalisation. There are new developments around here that have taken off (like Stranges Lane) but it’s still quite…

Continue reading →: Ducklings in a RowSpotted in the Avon River by the Botanic Gardens today. Aren’t they just darling? I never tire of photographing ducklings; they are just too cute – but boy they move around quickly (which kind of makes it a challenge)!

Continue reading →: Blossom Tree by the Water WheelA beautiful spring day today (even though the forecast was for cold and wet). So, to make the most of the sunshine I went for a walk around the central city and discovered the blossom tree by the water wheel on Oxford Terrace is in full bloom. I’ve missed this…

Continue reading →: Buildings on Bealey Avenue
I’ve always admired these lovely wooden buildings on Bealey Avenue – unfortunately I don’t know much about them or if they have a group name. Like a lot of wooden buildings, they appear to have come through the earthquakes relatively unscathed (though they’ve probably needed at least some work on…

Continue reading →: Knox Church on Victoria StreetThe Knox Church on the corner of Bealey Avenue and Victoria Street was very badly damaged in our earthquakes and they started rebuilding it last year – it was stripped right back to its frames for a long time. I was really surprised when driving back from my holiday to…

Continue reading →: St Andrews Hill Road
This road was closed for a few weeks while they worked on the retaining wall – which as you can see looks pretty solid. They’ve also done some planting which I suspect will look rather nice in a few years. I can’t remember now what used to be here! And…

Continue reading →: A day at the Melbourne Zoo (more from Melbourne)Spent the entire day at Melbourne Zoo today – getting there at 9.30am and leaving about 4pm. You really do need an entire day to do this wonderful zoo justice. I honestly don’t know what was my favorite part, but the butterfly house with butterflies landing on my head, hand…
