Welcome...

…………………………......to this World



This newly emerged monarch butterfly is from one of several late season chrysalis’ rescued from the garden and now safely inside in the warmth where the final transformation of the stripy caterpillars can complete this part of their cycle.


Warm wet tropical weather continues after our spell of cooler days. Tomorrow two weather fronts are forecast to meet across the top of the South Island, with heavy rain in the mix.



Thank you for your response to my previous blip - back in April!   Afraid I have missed a few days.
