 | Agapanthus. While photographing the sunrise from my backdoor, I noticed this Agapanthus flower. It had grown from a collection of dirt that piled up on the concrete. The stalk and stems leading to the buds are not as black as they look here, but I think the contrast is nice. | |||
| My Place, Wellington. 6:26 am, Tue 2nd Feb, 2010 | ||||
| ||||
 | Autumn in Christchurch. One of the nice things about Autumn is when leaves go yellow and gold! It is a sign that the leaves are or have died it's true, but that is the way these kind of trees work, and it looks wonderful. That's the Avon river in the background. | |||
| By the Avon River, Christchurch City. 5:22 pm, Sat 11th Apr, 2009 | ||||
| ||||
 | What Lurks Within? In some of these pictures of water I see many things and in this one I think I see a dragon breathing white flames out of it's nose (well, the side of its face really)! Probably just not enough sleep hehe. | |||
| Te Raekaihau (near Princess Bay). 4:12 pm, Fri 26th Sep, 2008 | ||||
| ||||
 | Pottery Charger by Darryl Robertson. I love the colour of this piece, it is very reminiscent of the New Zealand flag, and I guess it is encapsulating the artists view of Kiwi culture and fauna. It is very dreamlike to me and holds its significance in a certain haze of uncertainty paradoxically, like good art often does. | |||
| My place, Miramar, Wellington. 3:25 pm, Sat 7th Jun, 2008 | ||||
| ||||
 | Monarch Butterfly on Hebe Flower. Like little flying works of art. They are quite difficult to photograph I find since they are always jumping from flower to flower and with such a limited depth of field I end up spending most of the time they are in reach trying to get them in focus hehe. | |||
| My place, Wellington. 2:43 pm, Sun 9th Mar, 2008 | ||||
| ||||
 | Crazy Cranes. Cranes reflected in the 'wobbly' surfaces of a building in Wellington. | |||
| Wellington City. 9:23 am, Tue 4th Mar, 2008 | ||||
| ||||
 | Shadow. Great light, on a summers late afternoon. Technically faulty, but artistically appealing is how I see it. I like the way the part of my shadow encroaching on the nearest flower changes the colour. | |||
| Miramar, Wellington. 8:39 pm, Wed 16th Jan, 2008 | ||||
| ||||
 | Purple Grass Seed. This picture gives me a wonderful summery feeling, as it was of course being the second to last day of 2007. | |||
| Fields Track Road, between Hwy 49 and Hwy 4, Manawatu. 11:55 am, Sat 29th Dec, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Red Flowers. Some lovely red flowers. Ask me not what kind they are and I won't have to tell you I don't know :) | |||
| Ohakune, National Park. 10:31 am, Sat 29th Dec, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Gold or God in the Water! Looking so rich and mysterious, the rocks on the bottom of the small river flowing from Mt Ruapehu enchants me. Water always does that for me but I think this is exceptional, don't you? | |||
| Down the road from Mt Ruapehu. 1:34 pm, Thu 27th Dec, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | The Sun On A Stalk. Open for business, and all it has to give is life! It charges not a cent or anything else for it's nectar or it's beauty, in fact it is in need of assistance, to propagate itself and continue the line. | |||
| My Place, Miramar, Wellington. 10:45 am, Fri 21st Dec, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Canoes Leaning Against A Wall. Kind of a classical shot of colourful boats. I'm not sure about the frame I put on this one, it may be too dark, but I do like the colours in this shot. | |||
| Island Bay, Wellington. 4:51 pm, Mon 17th Dec, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Pink and Scarlet Rose Bloom. One of the countless variety of roses to be seen in the Lady Norwood Rose Garden of the Wellingtons Botanical Gardens. At the right time of the year the Rose Garden is ablaze with colours and scents. | |||
| Bot Gardens, Wellington. 3:20 pm, Tue 6th Nov, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Never Thirsty Lion. Just next to the herb garden this lovely little fountain sits. It's not a great picture, but I think it gives the idea (perhaps I will return to get a better one), I think it is a wonderful little fountain, very un pretentious, and the colours are nice also. | |||
| Bot Gardens, Wellington. 3:12 pm, Tue 6th Nov, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | House In A Flower. The creation of a friends mum (not the man in the doorway), I think it is kinda cute really. Go visit my friends site Pixieplots and this is some more of her mums creations here, she is quite an artist I think! | |||
| Pekapeka. 1:14 pm, Thu 27th Sep, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Wash Of Soft Pastel Colours. Another view from the top of Paekak hill, getting ever closer to true sunset. The colours are wonderful, this is probably my favourite from the bunch I took while I was there at the time. You can see the south island of New Zealand much more clearly. | |||
| Paekakariki Lookout Point, Wellington. 5:42 pm, Sun 19th Aug, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Nice Way To See The World. Nice colours here, with the gold on the water from the sun and the bright parasail. People are leaping off the top of Paekakariki Hill often, assisted by hangliders and parasails, they get to float over the main road (State highway 1, nearly visible in this picture) for awhile, then float down on to the beach, a lot of fun I would think, apart from the jumping off the top bit! | |||
| Paekakariki Hill Lookout point, Wellington. 5:26 pm, Sun 19th Aug, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Dahlia Flower. This is what the bud in the previous or next picture turns out to look like (depending on the sort order). I cannot say that I am a gardener in fact far from it, I let nature do her own gardening you could say ;) but this little plant has popped up every year to brighten my backyard, very beautiful. | |||
| My place, Miramar, Wellington. 4:55 pm, Fri 16th Mar, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Sunset Tangle. When ever I take my camera out, I try to take at least a couple of pictures, it doesn't really matter what they are of, so long as I take some. I was getting some diner from my local Chinese takeaways here. Glad I took my quota, cause I like this one. | |||
| Rongatai, Wellington. 8:02 pm, Wed 7th Mar, 2007 | ||||
| ||||
 | Christmas Flower (Pahutakawa). This is the flower of the Pahutakawa tree. In New Zealand it is considered to be our Christmas tree since it blossoms late December, and it creates such beautiful splashes of red around the place. | |||
| Waikanae. 8:34 pm, Tue 26th Dec, 2006 | ||||
| ||||
 | Night View of Turakina. The passing of a vehicle is marked by the pink lines floating in mid air, meanwhile the takeaways restaurant sits patiently. Nice colours, I like it. | |||
| Turakina, South of Wanganui. 9:52 pm, Tue 5th Dec, 2006 | ||||
| ||||
 | Movistar's Sails. Some of the 'gear' unloaded from Movistar. | |||
| Overseas Terminal, Wellington. 4:12 pm, Thu 16th Feb, 2006 | ||||
| ||||
 | Kelp waves and the Water Ripples in the Currents. Hopping between the jagged rocks around some bays in Wellington, there are beautiful sights to be seen. The sea was rushing through this gap in the rocks, then it would rush back again, endlessly, and the kelp seems to thrive on it. | |||
| West of Lyall Bay, Wellington. 12:36 pm, Sat 19th Nov, 2005 | ||||
| ||||
 | I See You! Lovely looking birds Tuis' are, well I guess most birds are lovely looking really (apart from Turkeys, and maybe Vultures ;) ). They are one of the New Zealand Icons I think, featuring on some of our coins from the past (until they went and miniaturised our coins to the point that they get lost amongst the fluff in your pocket!). | |||
| Puhoi, 50km north of Auckland 1:35 pm, Mon 15th Aug, 2005 | ||||
| ||||
 | Shells In The Sand. A great variety of shellfish I see, ain't life wonderful :) | |||
| Te Arai Beach, Eryes Point, Mangawhai Heads. 12:21 pm, Mon 15th Aug, 2005 | ||||
