I like to post photos here under the headings: texture, pattern, nature, colour, shadow & light.
These are photos of things we happen upon on our wanders or, perhaps, things we're working on. 
Most would be appropriate in several of the categories. It doesn't matter - the point is to look at & think about the world we live in.

Ko Taranaki te mounga. Ko Pouakai raua ko Kaitake te pae maunga. Ko Pukiekie te papakāinga. Tino nui te mihi o te tau hou ki a koutou katoa.

October 2019 : Ipu Whenua
These are the 5 Ipu Whenua from our 'Listening to the Land' exhibition.
​Each ipu (gourd) holds a different NZ native tree seedling.

These trees are part of the forest unique to the Taranaki ring plain.
The seedlings have been rescued from our driveway, where they won't survive.
After the exhibition they will be grown on & replanted on the land.
