more of our weekend trip


Barriers between lanes. We don't see that very often.


Sheep grazing in the riverbed.



Yes, those are giraffes on the farmland countryside! Artwork, I assume.



Many of the beaches have baches (pronounced batches) along the beach.

Not a destination

When we take a trip, it's usually to a specific destination to see something specific. And I would take a lot of pictures and edit them nicely--crop the car mirror out or straighten or lighten so you can see it better--and then tell you about where we went.

This weekend was different. Hubby found us a great place to stay in Waipukurau, a few hours from the house and we didn't do anything but enjoy the ride and see what spontaneous turns we could find. Of course, he always has a trick or two up his sleeve to show me along the way, he's good like that.



After 15  years, getting anywhere means seeing scenery for the umpteenth time for the first couple of hours in any direction and I already have lots of photos of it all, so I usually don't take many photos the first hour or so. But I decided to share it ALL with you this time around, car parts and all so you can see what the trip is about instead of just the destination. It will be over the next few posts.

My Corner of the World


I love foamy waters after a storm. It is caused by algae being churned in the waves.

St Luke's Anglican Church

This church is in Little Akaroa on the Banks Peninsula in the South Island. 
John Henry Menzies was the local farmer who was responsible for 
the church being built.



It's always a shame when there is not enough room to capture the whole building in one shot.




Just outside the gate:
'Enter ye in at the strait gate: strait is the gate, and
 narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life.'
