Continue reading →: Wild Pink Flowers in CashmerePretty in pink. I went up the Cashmere Hill this afternoon to find some street art to photograph. I ended up at the Sign of the Takahe and went for a walk to the lookout. These pink flowers drew me in and became my subject of choice for today. It’s…

Continue reading →: Fireworks at New Brighton PierThese are the Guy Fawkes fireworks that are let off on the New Brighton Pier. I was standing on the top of Mt Pleasant hill with my big lens. I couldn’t even see where the pier was, so I’m pretty lucky to have gotten this shot 🙂 It was pretty…

Continue reading →: Shabby Chic MarketA lovely day for a market today. Shabby Chic market is held at Rochester Villa and it’s an extremely popular market. It’s only held on the first Sunday of every month during Spring and Summer. You really need to get there right on 11am to get the best bargains. My…

Continue reading →: Afternoon Tea Time for my Birthday!I’m so glad that afternoon tea is back in style. I love getting out the fine bone china cups and plates, the cute teapots, and the whole joy that people get out of eating petite snacks. The occasion was my birthday, and several of my friend s out did themselves…

Continue reading →: Standing on my deck – what a wonderful viewI’m fortunate in having a wonderful view that looks over the Heathcote River, down into Heathcote Valley, over up to the Port Hills, west toward the city and even further west I can see our mountains. It’s an ever changing view, but when we get a warm wind blowing (our…

Continue reading →: Butterfly Fence Now (Mostly) CompletedA collage of images from the butterfly fence (and the butterfly mailbox which I rather like). The fence is at the top end of Ferry Road – just before the roundabout that takes you to Lyttelton. A sign has recently gone up on the fence advertising Butterfly Therapeutic Body &…

They were highly entertaining and quickly became my subject of choice. Izzy is mad about the water and kept leaping into the pond there. Charlie is a rescue dog…

Continue reading →: 185 Empty Chairs Tribute has movedThe 185 Empty Chairs memorial has been moved to just opposite the IRD building (near the CTV site). The Love, Hope, Faith images are on the fence behind it – they’ve been there a while and they are a fitting backdrop to the tribute.

Continue reading →: Building on Madras StreetThis building (well ruin really) is on Madras street right by the NG building. I spent a few hours walking around the city this lunchtime and it’s still a surreal experience. Sometimes I think ‘wow did this really happen?’. It still seems so odd that my city has suffered so…

Continue reading →: Re-Start Mall Has it’s First BirthdayToday was the 1st birthday for the Re-Start Mall. I was there the day it opened, and I remember being excited but a little nervous as well (we were still getting quite a few earthquakes). Well, over the last year, I’ve really loved spending a Saturday afternoon at the mall…

Continue reading →: Brougham Street Re-built Office BlockA ‘new’ building on Brougham Street. It was actually stripped back to its frame and re-built, so is not technically new. I’ve watched over the months as they stripped back the building right to its foundations, and wondered what was going to be put back. Yes, it’s essentially a box…
