I popped into town to get a photo of the street with the building coming down – as to me it’s quite symbolic of where are are at the moment in Christchurch. Things are still changing, but some things have kind of stayed the same – we still have the…

I took a lot of photos of Sumner Beach at dusk today, I should have had my tripod with me, and I pushed the camera a bit too far… but it didn’t do too badly. Except the brown spot in the middle of this photo is not distinguishable as a…

May 8, 2013

Bit of a smoggy start to the day today. You can see the line where it stops! Guess a lot of people are using fires to keep warm and perhaps some of the construction and de-construction of the city is contributing. It’s on days like these that I’m glad I…

May 6, 2013

These new signs with the purple stripes have appeared in the central city. We are certainly an evolving city, that’s for sure. Some days, it’s actually hard to work out what street you are on, or what building was once on a street corner. Heck, whole blocks have gone in…

I drove down Ferry Road today and spotted the mural of the two ladies was back on the newly re-built Bronskis Dairy. So good to see them back in business – they re-opened on Wednesday. The mural of the two ladies is a bit of a landmark, so great to…

For quite a few weeks, I have been driving past this wall in Ferrymead and thinking ‘I must stop and check that out’. Except, I am often on may way to somewhere or coming home from somewhere, so never do. Today, it got to 4.30pm and I had no photos,…

These trees are so pretty in Autumn that I have to come back every year and get another shot. These trees run along the Avon River between Manchester and Madras Street. It’s a very pleasant walk along the leave covered footpath beside the river.

I stopped in at the Woolston Bakery today for a bite to eat before doing a few errands. I can highly recommend the cream buns! And the mince pie I had was very tasty like what I remember from my childhood. I ended up leaving my purse in the cafe…

I had heard that there was a large flock of Royal Spoonbills at McCormacks Bay, so decided to investigate for myself. I would love to have gotten a bit closer to them, but the causeway is now closed for repairs. The birds didn’t seem to mind the surveyor – not…

A lovely sunset. It was 25 degrees in Christchurch today – but I was in Hanmer for most of the day where it still got to about 22. Great weather for this time of the year, that’s for sure.
