Continue reading →: Kaiapoi and the MV TuhoeI went to Kaiapoi today to go on the MV Tuhoe boat trip (it goes down the Kaiapoi River). Before boarding the boat, I had a look around Kaiapoi. Kaiapoi is about 20 minutes north of Christchurch. Kaiapoi was very adversely affected by the September 2010 earthquakes – with large…

Continue reading →: Some photos from my walk around the city todayEvery couple of weeks my partner Bruce and I venture into the central city for our ‘cordon walk’. That’s where we walk around the perimeter of the ‘red zone’ of the central city. There can be dramatic changes even in just a few weeks between visits, with new and weird…

Continue reading →: Smoke Plumes from West Melton Scrub FireI was out for a walk at lunchtime when I noticed a lot of smoke rising up. It kept getting bigger so I decided it had to be photographed… It wasn’t until I watched the news tonight that I learned it was from a scrub fire that took hold in…

Continue reading →: Cute Inner City CottagesIf you go for a walk down Montreal Street or Durham street (down by the Bealey Ave end) you will see quite a few much-loved cottages. Because they are wooden (and therefore light in construction) they’ve survived the earthquakes intact. Love the cottage gardens out the front of some of…

Continue reading →: A walk up the HillA few cellphone snaps from my walk up the Mt Pleasant hill at lunchtime today. Love the sunflowers – which are a lot further on than mine are. The letterbox was amusing but sad – there’s not house on the section any-more, but there’s a fence in front of the…

Continue reading →: Ferrymead Park PathAfter quite a period of activity along this stretch of the park I realised a lovely new path had been created. So to whoever was responsible, many thanks, as it’s a nice little path! And here’s a view that I never tire off – those Port Hills with Castle Rock…

Continue reading →: Summer Fruit Stalls in Horotane ValleyNothing says summer like fresh straight off-the-tree apricots and plums! I came home with a big bag of plums from the orchard above and a bag of apricots from the orchard pictured below. If you are wondering where Horotane Valley is – it’s a small valley within a valley –…

Continue reading →: A half day in Diamond Habour, Sculpture, Sea Views and Bird LifeThis morning, my other half and I, ventured off to Diamond Harbour for a look around and some lunch. It was a beautiful day as you can tell from the skies. Lovely and sunny – not too hot, but hot enough for an ice cream. Diamond Harbour is on the…

Continue reading →: They’re mad for Murals in New BrightonIt’s been a few months since I’ve been down the New Brighton Mall (and it’s alleyways). What a difference! Back in November 2012, local artists were called upon to paint artworks on empty walls as part of Mural Madness – here’s some of the photos I snapped today of some…

Continue reading →: A short walk around Lincoln and the Liffey DomainI was going to be picking blueberries this morning – not far from Lincoln, but it started raining so the blueberry orchard closed down. I’ll be going back at some point, as I had my heart set on some fresh blueberries (and muffins and pies!). So, I ended up in Lincoln as…
