#sunset #photography #nz #winter The magic of playing until the sun goes down

A series of three images taken as the sunsets. Silhouette on the edge of the river mouth a group of children play in the water with sticks. Watched by two adults. Behind the children is a rock ground. The river is in the midground a rock with a statue and a sand spit form the background. The colour's change from dusky pinks and Grey's through golden lights yo a full sunset over the river

A glorious winter day on the ocean. The fishing was hard the day perfect. We got home safely with fish for dinner. #NZ #BayofPlenty #Fishing #photography

A series of images taken from a small boat. In the morning shots a climbing sun creates diamond sparkles on a steel grey ocean. The afternoon shots show a bright blue sky with wispy clouds and a blue sea. A slight breeze ruffles the water there is a minimal swell. In the distance scrutiny reveals White Island or a daytime moon framed between rod and line

Forrest bathing in the late afternoon. #photography #nature #Redwoods #Rotorua

The afternoon sun peaks through a stand of tall redwood trees forming a sun star

Looking up with a wide angle lens the tall straight redwood trees reach into a blue sky .

An afternoon walk in a redwood forrest. #photography #nature #Redwoods #Rotorua #fungi

A macro shot of the end of a broken branch. This shows a possible slime mould. More research will follow. The background shows nice bokeh in autumn shades

A focus stacked image of a small brown mushroom. The forrest floor is littered with fern fronds and twigs all a range of autumnal shades

Looking up into the tree canopy. The Redwoods rise skywards. In the centre is a tree Fern showing the underside of the fronds of the iconic silver fern

A tree branch bearing 3 fan shaped fungi . The fungi are cream with a delicate gill structure. Closer inspection reveals spores and a tiny fungi. Hand held flash .

Another glorious day on the ocean. A large number of birds were working . The fishing was a bit frantic! #photography #birds #fishing

A seascape taken from the ocean looking back at the settlement lining the coast and the hills beyond. A glorious Autumn morning . Bright blue sea, green hills and sky blue sky

2 images taken across the boat. Rods in the foreground followed by a lightly rippled sea in shades of aquamarine. A large number of birds occupy the mid frame working over shoals of fish. The birds are calling and screeching and the fish splashing. In the far distance lie a small group of inshore islands and the coastline stretching to the west. The sky is blue with a light haze over the water

The Navy called into Town

The Navy Band negotiating a traffic Island. Shiny instruments and gold braid abound

Under the trees a bass drum, snare drum and tuba swell the sound

Reflections in a trombone bell backed by softly focused sheet music on a stand

The band in the shade of trees follow their musical director

Stop asking politicians about petrol supply and start asking about medicine supply.

Running the government is a lot like playing recorder – it doesn’t work if you suck. #makeitstop by letting those in power know just how many people care about primary education in NZ. Share this film, sign our petition, or just make some noise for teachers & educators at makeitstop.co.nz

#photography #landscapes #nature #fire #NationalPark #NZ

3 images taken after the huge vegetation fire on National Park They show the charred vegetation rolling over the landscape to Tongariro and Ruapehu. In the distance the light plays across the mountains . The low cloud and burnt vegetation renders the image almost devoid of colour

Amongst the charred remains of semi alpine plants a small head of pampas grass remains unmarked . A green shoot stubbornly continues to grow on a flax

Aftermath . #fire #photography #landscapes #NZ

A series of 3 images taken in National Park after a devastating tussock fire. The foreground is burnt and charred vegetation . The fire has rolled through the landscape and washed around the base of the mountain Tongariro seen in the background. The sky is heavy with clouds. One image shows a defiant flax bush, burnt but still displaying green leaves

@muzza.bsky.social hi! Hope you are well! Do you still have ponamu looking for homes?

Anne @101 @murphyrules101.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Gathered yesterday before the rain arrived today. I have found a new spot to pose my flowers for the camera

A glass vase balanced on a painted wooden stool which has seen better days. The vase contains 4 rose blooms. Berry, Champagne, Sunset and Fond Memory. Cerise, cream orange and pink. Surprisingly this eclectic mix sit well together. The light on an outside covered deck and the sunshade blind behind the vase combine to show off the blooms nicely. The focus is sharp and the colours bright and true.

Chris Bishop is trying to change the regulations to allow cattle to graze in wetlands and allow quarry companies to dig up wetlands. Less than 10% of original wetlands remain in NZ. I think I know what Don McGlashan would say.
