I can't choose between these 3 pics of a Swamp Cypress (Taxodium distichum) in the Botanic Gardens in Christchurch.

Just the tree?
The foliage against a green Zantedeschia to contrast the colour?
Add some ducks?

BTW: These pics are from May 2019

Spotted on a wall in Christchurch City Centre. Part of a larger mural, quite well done I think...

Apparently notorious local nazi Kyle Chapman and his crew are planning to disrupt Queens Telling Stories tomorrow at Tūranga in . Starts at 10:30 am, if you're able to go and show your support instead that would be very cool.

Love the colour on this Pukeko. The purple bar on the wing matching the chest, and the red crest and beak. You can even see the flash of white around the tail feathers.

It was quite happy posing while I took photos, spending some time rooting around under the water with its beak, and then standing up to dry off & stretch out.

Taken a couple of weekends ago at

Good morning! Anyone in Ōtautahi Christchurch or environs, please remember to have enough water*. MetService has a high of 32°C rolling in off the plains today.

(* Yes, on top of anything else you may be drinking.)

Some photos of a brief trip to today. Always great to get out and stroll about historical cities.

The dried seed pod of a NZ Flax (Phormium), fallen onto some browned-off moss.

I don't know about anyone else, but it reminds me of the basket hilt of a old ceremonial sword, the blade pointing down & toward the camera...

Taken on the Port Hills above

transphobic troll stickers are going up in Cathedral Square in if anyone else feels like getting creative this weekend. I have some trans flag stickers I made that I'll be trying to cover them with but I only have like four, haha.

Just read this horrific story about an alleged racist attack on a Muslim woman and baby in .

I think we should call this . Racially motivated attacks on people just living their lives, designed to make people like in terror.

An 18-year-old allegedly jumped on a tent where a mother and her 3-week-old baby lay… stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300?

Five years ago to the minute, the sun sets over Christchurch, seen from Fisherman's Bank.
