Continue reading →: Spring Lambs in a Heathcote PaddockSo cute! They are always so full of energy jumping around everywhere. They get quite messy too – I don’t know where the tourist postcard shots of lambs are taken, but I suspect the lambs used are pet lambs and first given a bath before their photo shoot!

Continue reading →: A little colour in the city on a grey wet Saturday afternoonWell it hasn’t been the best of days weather wise, being very much a stay-at-home with a good book kind of a day. Though, as the photos evidence, I did venture out into the city for fresh air. I decided to focus on the colour in the Restart Mall since…

Continue reading →: Sydenham Pod Park officially opened by Mayor Bob ParkerThe Sydenham Pod Park is a new park in the Sydenham business district (right by the Coffee Zone cafe caravan). It’s a joing effort between the City Council, Beca, Sydenham Quaret and local Sydenham businesses. It’s on the site of the Beverleys’ Buildings which were destroyed in the February 2011…

I was out for a walk with my camera, as I often am, and decided to give it a bit of a test run with some dusk shots. This first picture is actually just a small section…

I got a tour of their factory today and it was fascinating to watch the boots being put together – and I couldn’t help but notice a lot of the staff there were working in…

Continue reading →: Coffee and Cake at Browsers Cafe in RiccartonIt has been a grey and rainy today in Christchurch today – the perfect excuse to escape to a cosy cafe like Browsers in Riccarton and indulge in some cake. I had the citrus slice top right, and my friend had the lemon cake in the bottom picture. I love…

Continue reading →: Birds in the Botanic GardensI often go into the gardens to take photos of flowers and trees, but frequently I get sidetracked by the bird life in the gardens. I’m fascinated by birds and love to watch them in the wild. The little Chaffinch at the top of the photo was quite happy hopping…

Continue reading →: Magnolias in the Botanic GardensThe magnolia trees in the botanic gardens are just stunning right now. The lighting today was interesting, as it would be overcast one minute and then blue sky and sunshine the next. I took the first photo during an overcast moment. It actually looks like I’ve photo-shopped it, but I…

Continue reading →: A look at the Cardboard CathedralThe Cardboard Cathedral was open to the public this week, so I took a look at it at noon today and then went back again a little later when the sun had come out. It’s a lovely space, it feels very inviting and the minimal design is very peaceful. I…
