Morning Light
Posted on December 2, 2015 Leave a Comment
What is your favourite time of day? I wouldn’t call myself a great morning person, but I do love the morning light. It has a beauty all of it’s own. Enough to make it worth getting out of bed for…most of the time. The dog, however, is a great morning, noon and night ‘person’ when […]
Neath the Pongas
Posted on November 25, 2015 Leave a Comment
Walking in the Kaimanwas on a winter’s afternoon wrapped up all warm against the cold, I found myself looking eagerly for the sunny spots where the sun managed to get through the trees. I was after any warmth possible. Here, ‘neath the Pongas, was a gorgeous sunny spot enveloping us in a kaleidoscope of colour. […]
Treats in Store

I am terrible at remembering birthdays. It is not unheard of for me to have finally got the present in a rush and a flurry and then realised too late that I had no wrapping or card, The kids all laugh and tell stories of how Mum wraps presents in teatowels or dressing gowns. Once […]

Sharing Susan’s Sheep

It was lambing time and Susan’s sheep are well worth a visit. Being Pitt Island sheep they aren’t your normal run of the mill whiteys but rather, just a little quirky with dreds of black and brown. Susan likes quirky. I gotta say I like them too. They are interesting. She takes her bucket of […]

Wheelchairs

Plain and simple, I shouldn’t have done it! But I did and now it was biting me in the butt…literally 😦 Visits to the best chiropractor around had helped but it still wasn’t playing ball enough to allow me to get home. He had been suggesting it each day and i had been pushing the […]
Kereru and Wood Pigeons
Posted on September 10, 2015 Leave a Comment
Yes, the Maori name for New Zealand’s native Wood Pigeon is ‘Kereru’. This may seem like double the trouble to write, but we were seeing double that day. Not one, but two big fat Kereru no more than a metre above. Feeding as if there was no tomorrow, even though their rather rotund undercarriage suggested they […]
Thermos for Two

We were road-tripping again. Darby and Joan out on our own exploring. I’d packed a lunch with a thermos full of boiling water so we could make a cuppa along the way. Although the wind was pretty nippy, the sun was out with not a cloud in the sky at the White Pine Reserve in Awakeri, […]
Icicles Dripping Fun

Coming up last he spotted what we had all missed. A frozen moment in time hanging from a fallen log. Icicles clinging. Water suspended. Colours reflecting transparent. And the competition started. Trying to get the angle, the light, the wonder of it captured forever. Swapping places to see if we could do better than the […]
