This 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 –…

We 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…

I’ve had one of those days today where I’ve been really busy – but nothing was interesting enough to take a photo of. However, I am off to a cocktail party tonight so hoping there will be some good opportunities. In the meantime I thought I’d put up a quick…

My grandmother came over for lunch last weekend and bought me a bunch of lillies. Most were still closed but over the course of the week they have opened up. The house now has the most amazing smell. I absolutely love flowers – especially having them in a pretty vase…

Here’s another shot from my partner Bruce – taken tonight from our balcony. I was cooking and packing (I’m off on another trip) so sent him out with my camera for today’s shot. He didn’t realise he’d captured the plane in the photo until he saw it on screen. The…

The moon was amazing tonight – the photos do not really do it any justice at all. To the left is also the planet Jupiter and to the right is Venus – which are both visible in our night sky at the moment if you know where to look. Also…
