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…

Continue reading →: Beverley Park Heritage Rose GardenI’ve often driven past Beverley Park on Avonside Drive. It looks like a grassy park with a some trees in it – much like many of the local parks around Christchurch. So I had never actually stopped to have a look inside the park. But today, as you can see,…

Continue reading →: Flowers of the Cashel Re START MallI went for a walk around the ReStart Mall this afternoon and was admiring the sunflowers that are thriving. I love all the other flowers in the mall too, they add so much colour and really make the mall a great public space. Sunflowers are so cheerful, but as I…

Continue reading →: Jellie Park in BurnsideI went for a little walk around Jellie Park today. I managed to capture it after the rain had stopped and the sun had come back out. It was quite a warm day today, so it was especially pleasant walking under the mature trees of the park. The land for…

Continue reading →: Lyttelton Farmers Market on London StreetI’ve been meaning to get along to the Lyttelton Farmers market for a while now – as it has moved to London Street (which is the main street of Lyttelton). It was a beautiful and sunny morning today – and plenty of people were taking the opportunity to buy fresh…

Continue reading →: A short walk around LytteltonIt’s been months since I’ve been to Lyttelton. So I decided it was time to check it out today. I can’t recall the last time I was in Lyttelton – but I do remember feeling a bit low after my visit there – so much has gone.

Continue reading →: Christchurch AirportThis is a sculpture at the Christchurch Airport. The airport has had ongoing and rather extensive renovations and it’s looking rather spiffy inside and out. There are coloured LED lights, the traffic control tower that looks like an artwork and of course the actual artwork depicted above. I flew into…
