Autumn Rainbow
After an appointment I walked out to find a wonderful rainbow - it's hung about for hours. These pics were taken from home. It changes continually depending on the sun/drizzle levels. Fades away.. returns. Fun!
Organ Pipes
The bush walk where I photographed greenery was at the Organ Pipes track on Mt Cargill in Dunedin. We eventually made it to where I could see the organ pipes (just).

We're well into summer now and... Continue Reading →

Blue Gloss
Yesterday we returned to Commissioners Track and spent some time on part of it, mostly checking out the weeds and the native plants. We're right into summer now and lots of plants are flowering including grasses. We found some very pretty weed flowers, and some rather nice native flowers too. But today's post is about...
