Christchurch Daily Photo

A view of the Heathcote river (which is tidal) looking over the Port Hills as the sun slowly sets.

Some of our trees in Christchurch are just starting to show their Autumn colours.  It will officially be Autumn March 1st.  It’s one of my favourite times of the year, and I never tire of photographing the show that is Christchurch in Autumn. This photo is taken on Worcester Street by the Dyslexia exhibit (just opposite the Arts Centre market).

The Festival of Flowers is on at the moment, and each year they add flowers to the Tram – quite a nice touch I think. This tram is stopped right out side the Art Gallery.

The vertical meadow is part of the Festival of Flowers and celebrates the Kiwi backyard. You can see it on the side of the Canterbury Museum which is in the Arts Precint. It’s pretty cool.

Looking down Worcester Street from the square in the evening. We’ve been getting some lovely balmy nights, and it’s just magic! May the warm weather continue for a few weeks more at least!

These life-size topiary animal forms are currently on display in Victoria Square.  They are part of the Festival of Flowers

The view from Mt Pleasant this morning.  As you can see, it’s really foggy!

Dresses spotted at the market in Cathedral Square.

Spotted driving down Durham Street.  All I am going to say is that the ‘mind boggles’. Am resisting all pathetic attempts at innuendo!

I recently attended a vintage picnic birthday party for my friend Sharon. She did these lovely cakes and decorated them with roses, they were divine!
