Continue reading →: Found CatSpotted this poster – someone has found a cat in St Andrews Hill. I’ve blurred out the contact details, but have the original photo with them on if you know the cat’s owners. Looks like a very distinctive cat actually.

Continue reading →: Empty Lot in FerrymeadThis is in Ferrymead. There used to be a Countdown Supermarket here and another building was between the supermarket and the Sails building which is still standing (and has businesses operating out of it). It’s a little bleak, but that is the reality of an overcast and rainy day in…

Continue reading →: Sculpture or Not?Someone told me there was a sculpture on Brougham Street and I even saw it with my own eyes as I drove past. But on closer inspection I started to doubt it was a sculpture. Perhaps it was just some random pipes and gauges left over from the building that…

Continue reading →: Lupin by Lake TekapoI was surprised to see lupins were still flowering near the lake in Tekapo. It was another spectacular day in Tekapo today – the perfect day to climb to the top of Mt John (to the observatory). After several days of walking I’m now looking forward to having a rest…

Continue reading →: Hopkins Valley and Huxley Valley Tracks, Lake OhauBruce and I ventured into the Hopkins Valley and then the Huxley Valley today. This is a tramping track at the end of Lake Ohau.

Love the effort that people go to with these cones, as it certainly brightens things up and is a lot of…

Continue reading →: Castle RockThis is what’s left of Castle Rock after thousands of earthquakes. The track that is downhill from it is the Bridle Path and it is still closed due to the obvious rockfall hazard. In case you’re wondering… I took these photos from the relative safety of Port Hills Road –…

Continue reading →: Ducks on Waitikiri PondWe went out to Rangiora today and on the way back took a drive around the new Waitikiri subdivision. It’s still a lot of vacant lots waiting for houses to be built but there is a big pond with plenty of resident ducks. They are obviously used to being fed…
