Continue reading →: When Birds Attack, The Agressive Little Wax EyeI frequently put apple and butter out for the local birds (along with some bird seed for the seed-eaters). The wax eyes are tiny birds (much smaller than a sparrow) but they are fierce. They don’t always wait patiently for other wax eyes to take their turn at feeding on…

They were forecasting snow in Christchurch but all we really got was rain, hail, sleet and a lot of wind, all with freezing cold temperatures. A lot of people were kind of…

Continue reading →: Two Paradise Ducks up a TreeCrazy ducks! They were quite high up in this tree by the Avon River near Barbadoes Street. They seemed quite happy up there and not too worried by me taking their photos. The one with the white head is the female. Guess the view up there was pretty good! You…

Continue reading →: Green Chairs on a Rainy DayThese green chairs are stacked outside of the cafe that is located inside the St Martin’s New World supermarket. It rained a lot today and has been raining for a couple of days now. Parts of Christchurch have flooded and if keeps raining this way I suspect more of Christchurch…

Continue reading →: First few shops open at the Tannery in WoolstonThe Tannery is a new boutique shopping centre in Woolston. I’ve been quietly waiting to get a chance to see the inside of it and was pleased to find out that some shops have in fact opened (I’m not sure when). So I popped along there today with three girlfriends…

Continue reading →: Letterbox Library on Hereford StreetAt first glance it looks just like a large mailbox, but over the years I’ve become attuned to spotting when things are just a little bit different. So I was pleased this mini library caught my eye. It’s located on Hereford Street in the city.

Continue reading →: Ferrymead Bridge Re-BuildYears ago, it was decided that the Ferrymead Bridge would not survive a large earthquake, so they hatched a plan to re-build it and work commenced. Then we had a major earthquake and another one, and then about 10,000 more earthquakes. The bridge still stood. But it was in bad…

You can see to the left there what appears to be a meeting table and a window has been left slightly ajar. Such…
