Standing Tall

We’ve all done it… that moment at the bottom of tall trees as you crane your neck backwards searching for the top. I love it and have tried to capture that feeling in this painting. Does the painting make you feel that? Have a look here for more details.

I love the way nature looks after the weak and the young. These bush babies were found nestled among the roots of the magnificent Kahikatea on one of our walks in the Kaimanawa ranges. A few years from now and these young Lancewoods will in turn be giving shelter to other young trees. here’s the […]
Kahikatea

A trip to the White Pine Reserve in sunny Hawkes Bay, had us marveling at the beautifully bustressed kahikatea trees. So solid and straight. The light coming through and enveloping the trunk of this one caught my attention. So many little spots of beauty in the bush. 🙂 Check out the link to see more […]

She had asked me to come for coffee to her favourite cafe. I was there a couple of minutes early and so was waiting outside to meet up…why go inside when the sun was beaming down outside, right?! With all the warmth of spring their little pots adorning the door and windowsill were blooming gorgeous […]

When your 24 year old son offers to cook you a roast, you accept. All afternoon we had been smelling those scrumptious odours…tantalizing! He even made the gravy himself using all the juices from the bottom of the pan…Mama taught him good! The call went out that dinner was ready and we were all scurrying […]
Perfect Green Orchids

It was the perfect way to say ‘Thank-You’, ‘We love you’, ‘We hope your new home turns out to be everything you desire’. Orchids. A whole array of them to choose from. We let her choose, so it would bring her the maximum amount of pleasure. True to form, she chose the only green orchid, […]

I LOVE lemons! From their vibrant yellow to the refreshing tang, I just love lemons. In fact, every morning I start with a warm freshly squeezed lemon drink. Then lunchtime sees me squeezing lemon juice over my salad…my all-time favourite dressing. Where ever we live my garden always has a lemon tree. It’s one of the happiest […]
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, […]

That’s […]
Daffodils in Winter
Posted on July 13, 2015 2 Comments
Christmas decorations seem to come out earlier and earlier each year. Hot cross buns stay later and daffodils arriving in stores early July? Personally, I don’t like it. Each of these traditional times is special in it’s own time and season. BUT… daffodils arriving for my birthday I can totally get into! A bunch blooming […]
