Continue reading →: A New Building in Sydenham
The city suburb of Sydenham was quite severely affected by the series of earthquakes Christchurch experienced – with many buildings being demolished. New buildings are going up though, and this one on Colombo street looks to be fairly close to being finished. It’s nice to see progress and new buildings,…

Continue reading →: Monarch Butterfly on a Tiger Lilly and some HydrangeasI spotted this beautiful monarch while on a photo walk around the Botanic Gardens. I went to the gardens to photograph the hydrangeas and just opposite the hydrangea section was this lilly plant which caught my eye. Imagine my surprise when I then realised there was a monarch flying about…

It’s a popular track with walkers, runners and cyclists. It always takes me at least 1.5 hours to do the return trip (that’s if I’m walking quickly). Though…

Continue reading →: Kingfisher on my DeckThis morning a Kingfisher sat on the railings of our deck. It’s the closest I’ve ever seen a Kingfisher come to the house. They normally perch up in the large blue gums that are near the house, but never on the fence. They spook easily, so I took this photo…
