 | Happy New Year People. Yes itsa me, Peter! I like this picture for its redeeming softness, and the purple splash by my right hand ;) Anyway this is a end of the first tenth of the century offering, wishing you all the best for the coming year! Featured on the Home Page, Wed 30th Dec, 2009 | |||

 | Flax Flowers. This is the flax flower that?s grows close to my front door, in fact I have to move it, or duck under it, or walk through it to leave or get into my house, it would be easy just to break it, but I'm not like that, some would call it dumb or whatever. The other day I was glad of my dumbness, as I stepped out my front door, a Tui landed on the flower, it was like 10 feet from me! We looked at each other for a while, and then the Tui bounced along the flower to the open buds and investigated some of them with it's beak. I believe flax is a favourite of Tui birds :) Featured on the Home Page, Mon 14th Dec, 2009 | |||

 | Characterful Street. This road goes way way back into my past, my grandmother and uncle lived on a road leading to this one. Back then it seemed broad and straight, now look at it! But it lacks not for character. Featured on the Home Page, Wed 2nd Dec, 2009 | |||

 | Makara Beach. The pebbles of Makara beach (if you can call it a beach!). I went there to take some video, which I did, but even though I was using a tripod the was juddering the camera too much, still it was a nice wee adventure. Featured on the Home Page, Mon 16th Nov, 2009 | |||

 | Oriental Bay. Sunshine is a pleasant change from the usual winter weather, and there is even some warmth in it! Hopefully and no doubt a promise of things to come :) Featured on the Home Page, Mon 26th Oct, 2009 | |||

 | Fire and Glass. Nice colours here, and plenty of heat at the time! At one stage I wondered why the image was so foggy, thinking the worst as usual, but during a lens change I saw that the rear element of the lens had condensation on it. This picture is plenty clear though. Featured on the Home Page, Thu 24th Sep, 2009 | |||

 | Purple Grass Seed. This picture gives me a wonderful summery feeling, as it was of course being the second to last day of 2007. Featured on the Home Page, Tue 11th Aug, 2009 | |||

 | Two Shags on a Rock. Any perch will do so long as it is quiet and peaceful. The Shags are fisher-people, but unusually they have no oil in their feathers so every time they get their feathers wet, they have to go sit somewhere in the sun and dry them out again.

 | The Kaikouras'. How glorious is this, the mountains look so awesome and the sea just makes me want to go and dive into it, and I'm not even a swimmer type! Featured on the Home Page, Sat 4th Jul, 2009 | |||

 | Serene Look. What a wonderful look this Fur Seal has on its face, it might be taking a power nap maybe? Also perhaps it might be on lookout duty and is watching us from his half closed eye ;) Featured on the Home Page, Tue 23rd Jun, 2009 | |||

 | 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.

 | Big Wings. I wonder if this was the Albatross that bit me?!?! Brave me (some would call it something else!) thought I would present my finger to the bird to see what it would do etc, well it nearly took my finger off lol, no it didn't but with a 5 inch bill and pointy ends it did draw blood on both sides of my finger. I feel privileged though :) Featured on the Home Page, Fri 24th Apr, 2009 | |||

 | Mount Ngauruhoe. Mt Ngauruhoe has a nice conical shape, kind of a classical beauty for mountains really. I like the border on this one. Featured on the Home Page, Sun 29th Mar, 2009 | |||

 | Plimmers Lane. John Plimmer. The man that inspired this statue was a business man originating from England (The History). I have long admired his statue with his faithful dog perpetually in mid scamper, perpetually gazing lovingly up at its master. :) Featured on the Home Page, Sun 8th Mar, 2009 | |||

 | 23, My Other Favourite. I reckon this one looks almost sinister ;) Ok maybe that's just me, probably. I'm sure 23 is a great and generally good sort of a person ;) it is just the lighting and the fact that we are looking up at him? Featured on the Home Page, Thu 19th Feb, 2009 | |||

 | Horse Hongi. What a beautiful animal this is (the horse!!!), look at the neck, it is as broad as a grown mans torso, and look at those eyes and ears, so intelligent, I am moved by this picture :) Featured on the Home Page, Sat 7th Feb, 2009 | |||

 | Post Classic - 3 Sean Donnelly, Kawasaki Z1 900. The Second 'Post Classic' race, where Sean Donnelly (Paraparam) came 3rd (3rd in both races). This bike is becoming a classic competitor, it is good to see him there. By the way just to mention that this picture has not been cropped at all, this is what the camera captured! I think that's impressive dammit! ;) | |||

 | 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. Featured on the Home Page, Fri 16th Jan, 2009 | |||
