A Sunrise.


One of my favourite shots!  
Hataitai, Wellington - April 10 2017. 

Close to the End...Making my way to Hastings to Christchurch...

 Picking apples in Hastings, Hawkes Bay!

Running in the hills around Havelock at sunrise...


A beautiful Wellington day for my birthday!

Yay - South Island!!

 8.5 hour bus to Christchurch...Rimu class are eagerly awaiting my arrival. :-)

My Year 7/8 girls... :)

 Glad I made it for the Easter Parade!


 Easter in Ohoka, looking after Ruby & Louis. Some great hut making + 'Matilda' on Good Friday.

 Off to the Ashley Gorge for a walk in the sun. Overflowing rivers and waterfalls meant a great adventure!



Having a go at the Circus Open Day in New Brighton - well worth it!




 "We're going on an Egg hunt, we're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day! We're not scared!"

Lots of reading and watching sunrises/sunsets...

Art Deco Walking Tour

In 1931, NZ's worst civil disaster occurred in a 7.8 earthquake and fire in Napier. The town was rebuilt within 2 years and in the Art Deco style which was very popular at the time. I went on a walking tour for the afternoon and it was fantastic! Many of these buildings have been restored since then and if the business owners want to repaint their building/s in the Art Deco colours then the council will pay for it. 




 Maori & Art Deco styles mixing on the ceiling of the ASB.













Beautiful Hawkes Bay

The Hawkes Bay is home to some awesome bike trails, that are very accessible to anyone! Most are off road and very scenic - easy to get some great pics and exactly the kind of cycling I feel like doing right now!
