What a spectacular day we have had today. This morning dawned crisp and clear, with only a few clouds out to sea. It was nice to step out and enjoy the clean air and bird song while the sun rose over the radiant Range. I never tire of the views or the different moods in…

I was surprised there wasn’t a frost on the ground this morning, it was pretty fresh! The dew was heavy but no ice, just a hint of winter in the chilled air as I let the dogs off for their morning run. Gee it’s nice to be home! The last week has been crazy busy…

What a beautiful morning! As I stepped outside this morning the first rays of the sun were kissing the leaves of the trees near our house. It was one of those moments in time when you just want to stand still and soak in the beauty that surrounds. The air was fresh and clear and…

The valleys and gullies below me were seeped in fog this morning. It was thick like a grey candy floss, with wispy tails on the ends. Yesterday I mentioned the stark lines of winter, but today there were muted lines, abstract contours and soft colours; in the silence of the morning light. Distant trees and…

It’s been a few days since I have written. Nature’s rhythms have been active in that time; rain, floods, gale force winds, hail and sunshine.

The river is clear. calm and rather noisy as the water flows over the rapids near the bridge. We can hear the sound from up at our house. I like it! I didn’t go to work today, so I decided to take a different walk with the dogs this morning. We went down the front…

I worked a half day today. It still meant an early start, but surprisingly after achy muscles and the tiredness of last night, I felt pretty good. I was pretty keen to get back into the bush and try to get the elusive kiwi that needs her transmitter changed. Well …. I climbed and crawled….

I’m dog tired tonight! I’ve had a big day and I’m already in bed struggling to stay awake. Tonight I’m writing on my phone and it will be brief … mainly photos. It was pretty dark when I left for work this morning. There was a hint of pink over the Radiant Range. Mica was…

What a difference a day makes! This morning I was dreaming of walking along a sandy beach in bare feet. The sand was squelching between my toes and the soles of my feet were being massaged with each step. The water was warm and gentle waves were lapping at my feet. I was wearing rolled…
