Alexandra

This is one of the last photos that I took before I left the Henderson House residency in Alexandra, Central Otago.

MacRaes Flat

Today I was visiting the gold mine at MacRaes Flat. I had photographed there last year.

While there I explored the small, historic village near the mine.
In the village there is a newish school but what was of particular interest to me was this replica of the original building, built in the school grounds, in I think 1968.

This structure is no more that head height.


Penguins

Yesterday I was in Inververcrgill and catching up with old friends.
Here are two penguins that were at Tony’s house.


Otago Museum Tropical Forest

A few days ago I visited the new butterfly house at this museum.
At any one time there are between 500 and 1000 butterflies in the forest.

The photo below is a scene from the breeding room.



Late Winter
Here is a view from the banks of the Clutha, just below where I live. These branches are still bare but very soon they will be full of life.

Grape Pruning

Here are some grapes, quite old I would think, growing here at Henderson House.
They are in a slightly dilapidated glasshouse. They’ve just had their first pruning in many years hence the nakedness.

Saturday Night in Invercargill.

I went to a party in Invercargill on Sat night. It was a privilege to be there.
