Continue reading →: Royal Spoonbill on the EstuaryMy shot of the day and a stroke of luck. I was coming back home from a meeting and right by the estuary in Ferrymead were two Royal Spoonbills. I’ve never been able to get such a close-up photo as they are normally too far off or take off on…

Continue reading →: The Mountains, the city and the SeaI could see this morning that there was a lot more snow on the mountains and that it was reasonably clear. So a perfect opportunity to run out to Sumner to get this shot. I’ve tried on several occasions to get something like this, but the conditions change on me.…

It was certainly a fun afternoon and I highly recommend you try to do as many of the stores as you can (there are a lot!). But, this comes with a warning, you will…

Continue reading →: 40 on the Hill
These 40 signs are popping up all over the Mt Pleasant hill. It’s an initiative by Mt Pleasant Primary school to get traffic to slow down. As a local I totally agree with a slower speed on this hill – there are a lot of blind corners and difficult roads…

Continue reading →: Centennial Pool Demolition
The Centennial Pool demolition is in progress. From what I understand, the pool was not economic to repair due to earthquake damage. The land the pool is on will become a new and very large and innovative Children’s Playground – to be named in honour of the children’s author Margaret…
