being a windy city, it's a haven for surfers when the storm rages, but not so much fun for air travellers.

this photo was taken at the southern end of Wellington airport at the end of October...

This Moai was gifted by the President of Chile as it is a symbol of the connection between the people of Rapanui and New Zealand

Here in the southern hemisphere we are buzzing with the promise of warm weather and sunshine.

So I've been out with my camera this week making sure I have some digital "proof" that Spring has well and truly arrived.

this close up of a white clematis could not go unnoticed for a springtime photo

not quite the song and dance of blue grass music

but this is what the Blue Grass Flower looks like

I'm quite enamoured with the abundance and prolific colours of the

wherever I chance upon the Bird of Paradise flower (Strelitzia)

I always take photos...

maybe it's their long blooms, but one day I hope to capture them in a "perfect" photo

white Camelia that caught my eye

2009-09-22T18:56:00.000+12:00

i like the colours of this blue pansy, so decided to share it as part of the Spring theme

2009-09-22T18:51:00.000+12:00

mostly flowering towards the end of winter - when the Camelia flowers come to the end of their blooming, that's when you know the warmth of summer is just around the corner.

I just liked the way the sunlight caught this one...

Plimmerton and Paremata - Cam Theme - 48

2009-08-26T06:14:00.003+12:00

North west of Wellington, you will find these two suburbs.

We first drove to Plimmerton, parked the car and walked, taking photos as we went.

Then it was off to the Pauatahanui inlet for a quick look-see.

These being some of the photos from that day...

This one below, was at the south end of Plimmerton looking back towards the highway.
