At Pukaha Mt Bruce two weeks ago.
From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Gecko Beech some day…

__(apologies to Martha…

I bought my daughter this little doohickey that clips over a phone camera to turn the phone into a “microscope”.

This monstrous-looking red thing is a patch of strawberry skin.

No great science, nor any great photos, but fun.

Always a popular spot on the Wellington waterfront, Taranaki Street wharf attracts all the youthful jumpers. Though, I've never seen anyone dive in yet.

Thanks for all the posts so far. Got rather busy this week, as happens in the silly billy season.

Here’s the original of the caravan featured in the Insta9. Looking forward to getting back there in the coming weeks.

Flowering time for the southern rātā. A different style of tree from its cousin the pōhutukawa: it’s bushy and flowers all the way from head to toe.

A joy to see, thank you! Here's one from a few years ago at Jackson Bay, South Westland. Photo by Walter Neumayr, son…

It's also a bee-magnet! You can't tell from the photos but this tree was surrounded by an almost solid halo…

I’ve spent a lot of time filming Kaikoura this year. This pic was taken at the SH1 reopening dawn ceremony today in Rakautara. Like many here, im tired but very happy and proud of what’s been done.

Lovely image – it reminds me of the low-light stuff Angus McNaughton does.
