decorated with lichen
Some of the rocks along the river behind the house have such interesting (at least, to me) designs and colors.

discoveries
As I poke around the acreage we are living on at the moment, I keep finding new lovelies here and there!
I can't name them all but I certainly can enjoy them.

waxeye
I saw a flitter through the window and realized it was a cute little waxeye bird!
They are really fast and don't stay put at all, so it took a lot of clicks to get a
few that look decent.

forgotten buildings
There are so many abandoned sheds and houses and
barns and churches on the NZ backroads.

kitesurfing
After several days of wind and storm around the country, we went to the coast, hoping to find some huge waves. We didn't find waves, but we found kitesurfers.
I'm not much of an 'action' shooter, but I did enjoy catching the bits of bright color against the moody sky and dark, churned water.

fantail silhouettes
I saw this lovely bird flitting around the trees and tried to capture him against the
sunset sky.

from a bygone era
Hubby is quite happy to stop, back up, or turn around for me to shoot something when we are out riding around; but today was the first time he honestly looked confused when I told I wanted to go back to take photos of old power poles :)
We had passed quite a few of them around the little town of Tahora--minus wires, covered in lichen and moss; so, I decided to get photos, maybe the last ones of them ever.
They were just placed here and there except those along the roadside--not at all, in the straight lines we see today--but I thought they had a lot of personality, each one a little different. Sepia seemed appropriate.

gorgeous visitors
I usually only see one of these beauties at a time,
seldom two, but today was three out the window!

Birds before coffee
When I opened the drapes this morning, there were spanaries (yellow hammers, actually, but I prefer my name for them) on the front lawn that let me take their photos.
Then, I noticed more fantails than usual that were flying around the side of the
house, so I went to the spare room window and saw lots of birds flitting
around into the copper sheen tree and out.
All these photos were through the window and before my first cup of coffee!
From top left, clockwise: English goldfinches, starling, fantail, goldfinch,
sparrows, spanaries.
From top right, counterclockwise: waxeye, yellowhammer, fantail, waxeye,

Just for me!
Hubby raises a few strawberries for me each year. These were on the
front porch and I drooled watching them mature.
They were delicious!
The ones behind got hit by frost :(

Lochmara Lodge underwater observatory
Our holiday adventure took us to Lockmara Lodge where they have lots of thing to do as
well as overnight stays.
We only went to the Underwater Observatory where Galen-from-New-York gave us
a tour in three stages. First he tried to lure a local stingray, but it didn't show up until later!
Second was a 'touch' tank which was fun--shown in the top row of photos and large
photo on the right.
Then we went down to the observation seating of an old glass-bottom boat that is permanently
moored. As the fish swam past in a huge school, the cormorant/shag kept swimming by!
