Continue reading →: Monarch Caterpillars and SunflowersI’ve always loved watching monarch butterflies flying around in the garden – so I plant Swan Plants (milkweed) to ensure I get to enjoy them each year. My swan plants have gotten quite big and bushy and I had very few caterpillars on them. But all that changed in the…

Continue reading →: Buskers Comedy ClubA few of the performers I caught at the Buskers Comedy Club. Best to get there early – you won’t see much if you are not in the bench seat near the front 😦 – hence why all of my phoots are of people up in the air!

Continue reading →: The Cardboard Cathedral UnderwayThis is the corner of Hereford Street and Madras Street, and is the site for what is going to be the Cardboard Cathedral. It’s wonderful to see buildings going up rather than being pulled down. The Cathedral will be a transitional building as it is hoped that a Cathedral will…

Every year I try to see as many acts as I can, but it’s getting harder to keep up, with so many wonderful performers. Today, I ventured down to the Re-Start Mall and caught Nigel Blackstorm, Mr…

Continue reading →: A city glowing in early morning lightThey say the early bird gets the worm. Well the early photographer gets to see early morning light. But this is a little more than just early morning light. It’s how it’s concentrated entirely on the city. It seems so symbolic to me. Apparently, the sun needs to be shining…

Continue reading →: Art work on a corrugated iron fence in HeathcoteI recently noticed this piece of art appeared on the fence on Port Hills Road in Heathcote. I don’t know anything about it, and didn’t see any name on the artwork. Intriguing. Just a typical event in post-earthquake Christchurch though – things just appear from nowhere!
