A few more photos that Hubby took on the train from Picton to Christchurch.
I love this hammock with the roof.

Unexpected visitor
As we talked in the lounge, Hubby suddenly said, 'There's a pheasant!' We quietly watched and photographed him as he wandered around in my flower garden and all around the house! I had occasionally seen him (I assume it was him, anyway) as we drove down the road but never expected him to show up so close to the house. He seemed to have found lots of bugs and stuff to eat, so maybe he'll be back some time.

bridges
Even after almost 10 years, I find it quaint that most of the bridges that are in rural areas are still one lane--even those that are on main thoroughfares.
The bridge above is the Kawarau Suspension Bridge where bungy jumping began.
The Ophir Bridge
Below is the Taramakau road/rail combination Bridge

kawakawa art on high street and Clapham's clocks
No trip to Kawakawa would be complete without a visit to the famous Hundertwasser public toilets
It's a small place but I like to visit the Clapham's Clock Museum when we are in Whangarei.
This polyphon still plays the disks beautifully. The drawer below is filled with over 70 disks. It has an interesting history. Click here for more information on it.

Kevin's op-shop water wheel
Kevin worked on this water wheel for a long time before he got it the way he wanted it. We searched many op shops (charity shops) for the right-sized little pitchers that he could use. The water drains into a plastic container beneath the rocks and a pump brings it back up to the coffee pot. I love seeing it turn.

bargain beauty
I love to find bargains in the garden centers and this lovely purple-centered daisy was a recent find. It only cost a couple of bucks and looked a bit bedraggled but after a few days of TLC it perked up and contributed some wonderful contrast for my garden.
