photos from here and there

St Oswald's Anglican Church, Westmere, my favorite church to photograph.

The 1915 building is a good example of the Arts and Crafts style of Gothic

architecture with typical Gothic detailing. https://data.whanganui.govt.nz/wdc/HeritageSheets/67.pdf

ponga up close

In the middle of the photo below is what's left of a ponga (punga, silver fern) tree

that once was the only tree in the front garden. I have lots of photos of the tops and

furled fronds of these beauties, but not a whole tree so I refer you to this photo on the TePapa website.

Each frond has left its own mark on the trunk and lichen has made

some harder to see.

I don't know about you, but I think nature is pretty cool, even in death.

virginia lake, whanganui

There are lots of things to do and see at Virginia Lake. We usually visit the lake and feed

the ducks, swans, coots and geese. And we visit the Winter Garden which is an art deco

building literally filled with flowers. (Here's a link to a previous post.)

But with construction to the garden, we were re-routed to enter through the sculpture

garden, which we had never seen before, for some reason.

My Corner of the World

There aren't a lot of deciduous trees where I live, so these from our

Wellington trip were great to see.
