Continue reading →: No EntranceA little bit of grunge photography for a difference. This building is next to the Les Mills gym in town. I’m not sure what it was before the earthquakes. Now it’s an interesting photo subject (some would say eye-sore). There’s something captivating about the combination of the tall cabbage tree,…

Continue reading →: Wisteria on the Bridge in the Botanic GardensThis is the bridge that goes from the Daffodil woodland into the Botanic Gardens. This beautiful wisteria is growing along it, and I’m guessing that as there is one plant on either side, at some point in the future they will meet – and won’t that be stunning!

Continue reading →: Pride of MadeiraThese Pride of Madeira (Echium candicans) are growing in my garden. I love them, after initially thinking they were a bit of a pest as they take over. I’ve now got a pale blue one growing and am pretty happy about that, as I was admiring one a few weeks…

Continue reading →: Ilam Gardens and HomesteadToday I’m featuring the beautiful Ilam Gardens and Homestead which are located right by the Canterbury University (near Homestead Lane). I can’t quite believe, that this was my first visit to the gardens, and I have lived in Christchurch for twenty years. I’m not sure how they escaped my attention…

Continue reading →: The Mountains this MorningLots of snow on those mountains! We are having a cold snap this week – after having a very warm weekend (it got to 25 degrees on Sunday). So with the cold comes a dump of snow on the mountain ranges. It’s funny because just last week I looked at…

Continue reading →: Concept Christchurch on Tuam StreetThis is a wonderful space built by the Student Volunteer Army – it’s on Tuam Street and is a really bright and colourful spot with road signs for the four avenues, pedestrian crossings, plants, and grassed areas and mini asphalt roads. It must have been a lot of work and…

Continue reading →: Oh so random!One of the things I love about Christchurch post-earthquakes, is the random things that turn up all over the city. This random thing is a face made in polystyrene with glass glued to the outside of it. It’s just visible by Tuam Street near the Cassels bar (it’s right by…

Continue reading →: The Cake Shop at The Tannery in WoolstonThere is now a cake shop at the Tannery in Woolston. I went along this morning to check it out with my photo club. When ever the photo club turn up it’s like the paparazzi have turned up! Though we do get very distracted by cake…and choosing just which cake…

Continue reading →: Quake Dogs Book Launch at the Pallet PavilionQuake Dogs is a book about the experiences of Christchurch dogs during the earthquakes. The book was launched today at the Pallet Pavilion and there were many dogs in attendance with their humans. I love dogs so couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a few sneaky photos of the dogs…

Continue reading →: Ironside HouseThis is Ironside House on the corner of Salisbury and Montreal streets. It’s recently been restored after damage sustained due to our series of earthquakes. It’s now also the home of a new restaurant called Harlequin Public House which I must check out sometime soon!
