It's taken me all this time to do a post about it, but I thought I'd share with you our visit to the Mt Benger A&P Show on 17 February this year. It was a very late decision to attend prompted by me spotting a highway sign advertising the date. Nigel phoned them and they... Continue Reading →
Light Interferance
Fabulously creative Rebecca Baumann (Australia) has a great installation at Dunedin Public Art Gallery, New Zealand. Big, bright and colourful! We wandered in on 16 July. Most pics taken by Nigel. I really love her work and have posted about other installations. For those... https://exploringcolour.wordpress.com/?s=Rebecca+Baumann Light Interference (Refracted Field).

Birthday Fun
Birthday fun yesterday.. a trek through thyme-strewn Bannockburn sluicings to Stewart Town where the old stone house also boasts an old orchard +lilac bush! The first pic also has California poppies. And earlier, I'd enjoyed a whirl on this twirly thing in a Cromwell playground. Central Otago, New Zealand.

New Zealand. The lower section of the track has extensive blocks where native trees and shrubs have been planted, some parts quite intensively, and others scattered.... Continue Reading →
A Fine Gorse Bush
We walked Commissioners Track yesterday, at East Roxburgh near the hydro dam. Lovely gorse flowers, shame it's a very bad pest plant here in NZ! I have to admit though, the bright yellow flowers sure brighten up a winters day. And I took a pic of Nigel on a lower part of the track as... Continue Reading →
Forum Cafe
Forum Cafe is in the town of Milton, a busy working town with the main highway running through the centre of town and lots of big trucks travelling through. Happily Milton has a lovely cafe with friendly staff and walls covered in bright murals. We've taken to breaking our journey there when going to Dunedin... Continue Reading →
View from Braids Hill
On 25 March we were heading home from Dunedin and I asked Nigel to pull in to an easily missed carpark at the bottom of this hill, then we walked up a way to a Beach Access walkway that I've seen many times before when we drove up the hill. It looks very inviting because... Continue Reading →
