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 →: Flowers TrackI took these photos yesterday, when I was at Scarborough. After walking up and down Whitewash Head Road, I then walked up Flowers Track (all the way to the top). I’m kind of amazed that I had never been up Flowers Track before (at least I don’t recall going up…

It’s a great spot to get some good photos of the city and the mountains, but only if the day is clear and the mountains are visible. Today, was not one of those days. Instead…

I’ve driven past it a few times and admired it, so I finally went and took a photo of it today. So, this is an early blossom, and I am looking forward to more blossom trees bursting into…

Continue reading →: New Buildings in MerivaleThe Merivale suburban shopping area lost quite a few buildings due to our earthquakes – which is no surprise considering how close they are to the central city. These are a few of the new buildings that have popped up over the last year. I’m assuming the exterior is copper…

Continue reading →: Christchurch Chinese Methodist Church Demolition, MerivaleI was in Merivale today and came across the demolition in progress on this church. I’m not sure when it started, as I’m not in Merivale very often. A church demolition is an all too common sight in Christchurch now. I don’t know much about the church’s history, except that…
