I love the architecture of this building!
When we were there in 2006, the gardens looked like this:
Sadly, last April, most of the lovely flowerbeds had been turned to grass.

Winged creatures
I don't usually see more than one Tui at a time, so these three that were having a loud discussion were a treat.
This dock obviously doesn't get much use.
One pair of black swans was preparing to run off the other pair. It was quite a sight.

Stony River
The first time Hubby and I drove over this bridge, we had a giggle when we both said, "Gee, I wonder how that river got it's name!"
This is a one-person suspension bridge which is part of the Stony River Walkway. Unfortunately, the walkway was closed due to all the rainfall of late.

A view from my walk
I see this view of Mt Taranaki every time I walk near the house and, finally, remembered to take the camera!
