The sun was disappearing behind the Western Ranges while it was slack tide. Mirror-like conditions prevailed silhouetting the feeding heron and an estuary sandbank.


After so many recent wet days we are now in the grip of a particularly cold spell. It is unusual that the whole of New Zealand has been hit with such cold temperatures at the same time - usually the South Island is well ahead of our northern neighbours.

Yesterday we celebrated the shortest day of the year.


Thank you for the comments, stars and hearts for my previous blip - covered in dainty barnacles adding texture to the outside.
