Postcards from Nelson Bays



Te Waikoropupu Springs - these were taken at the start of the walk. Better info is in this link. It involves water (of course it does) but if I was there in my backpack I would be able to look at it from a safe place. F said the postcards are not of water but of art and wildlife because she knew I wouldn't appreciate water.


Weka - a kind of rail and about the size of a scrawny chook (this is a teenage one). They are adept at stealing things and running away ....very fast

    Wow, that looks like a brilliant place to explore (and even though I'm a terrier, I'm fascinated by water). Gail loves the art in that last photo.
    Toodle-oo!

    awesome art in the first two and that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the bar of light across the sun. I like the signs about water and the art it creates. We see that at our beaches. the last piece of art, the eel looks really MAD

    Looks like F is revisiting the land of her youth. Lovely pictures. Seize the day, Tigger to explain to the sitter that you do, too, get chicken and treats all the time.

    Looks awesome. I can’t remember if I’ve been there. Our trip to New Zealand was a bit of a blur. But I do remember how beautiful it was.

    Beautiful springs, very inviting. The art work is stunning, with the colours of water (to me, anyway)

    Looks like F had an early start- sunrise over water is always special.

    We were almost going to move there before we came here but decided the house prices were a bit above my budget, hope you're enjoying your holiday.
