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 →: Victoria Square Bridge and TreesVictoria Square by the bridge and the Avon river. It’s all looking quite pretty at the moment even though it is now technically winter. Eye see you 🙂 The Town Hall and the Ferrier Fountain, looking a little sad.

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…

Continue reading →: Dead Tree in an Office, Armagh StreetThis tree (I suspect it was once a thriving Ficus benjamina) sits in a window on an abandoned building on Armagh Street right by New Regent Street. You can see to the left there what appears to be a meeting table and a window has been left slightly ajar. Such…

Continue reading →: The Estuary in FerrymeadA view of the estuary from Ferrymead taken quite late this afternoon. It was a lovely sunny day today but winter temperatures have kicked in so it’s now quite cold too.

Continue reading →: A new view for New Regent StreetSo there used to be a building at the end of this picture – and now it’s no more. What a difference it has made. I don’t know what the plans are for the land that had the building on it, but hopefully once something is rebuilt it will work…

Continue reading →: Bellbird feeding on Kowhai FlowersYesterday I was out walking (sans camera of course), when I saw a bellbird feeding on this kowhai tree. Rather than being annoyed with myself that I only had my cellphone camera with me, I decided to enjoy the moment. The bellbird was only a few feet away from me…

Continue reading →: Dusting of Snow on Castle RockIt snowed yesterday! It’s only late May for goodness sake. I like when it snows, it’s pretty and fun to photograph, but I was not feeling that wonderful yesterday (fighting off a flu) so the thought of snow was not that exciting at all. Fortunately for most of Christchurch, we…

Continue reading →: Morning and Evening Mountain ViewsAs you can tell from the snow on the mountains, we are not far off from winter. It was a beautiful light this morning with the sun hitting the buildings. Then, by later in the afternoon, the cloud had come in and mountains were looking like someone had put a…

Continue reading →: More Monarchs, St James Park and ButterfliesWell, it’s official, I’ve gone mad for Monarchs! This is my last post about the over-wintering monarchs in Christchurch. I’ve had quite a few people tell me they had no idea the monarchs did this and after finding out they have gone to the various parks and taken their own…

Continue reading →: Centennial Park and MonarchsI went to Centennial Park today to find the monarchs that winter over there. They are in one of the very large blue gums right by the path on the north west side of the park (opposite Pioneer). It was getting pretty late in the day when I took these…
