A view of the harbour and hills to that left and buildings in Pōneke Wellington to the right from Mt Kaukau summit beneath a blue sky with fluffy, white clouds. Green gorse with yellow flowers invades the otherwise native bush, featuring green ferns beneath a cloudy sky on the walk to Mt Kaukau. A man in khaki pants and an orange coat walks through a “tree tunnel” on the Nt Kaukau walk.

Great time catching up with friends, Fiordland crested penguins and fur seals in beautiful Te Rua-o-te-Moko Fiordland. 🥰 #travel #NZtravel #TravelPhotography #wanderlust
A waterfall runs down a bush-covered hill into a clear river featuring greens and blues, surrounded by trees. The white body and yellow eyebrows of a Fiordland crested penguin can just be made out standing on a beige rock near some flax. A group of fur seals sit on a rocky island in Patea Doubtful Sound.

#HappyWeekend from beautiful Ōtautahi Christchurch! 🌞 #travel #NZ
“Stay”, Antony Gormley’s brown cast-iron statue of a human stands in the Avon River, with its reflection in the water, in front of some ferns and other green plants. A female pūtangitangi paradise duck, with a white head, brush body and a small, white strip on her head, and three black ducks stare at the river that’s running under a beige bridge with a cream patterned section in the middle. A large group of people on a long, green gondola on the river, which is surrounded by green trees beneath a blue sky. Red and pink flowers can be seen on the left bank near the gondola. A blue and yellow tram, on the left in the foreground beneath a blue sky, approaches two small, red stands that signify a tram stop. A historic building that’s being partially rebuilt after the 2011 earthquake can be seen below two brightly coloured, arty boards to the right.

Sometimes there’s nothing more joyous than playing fetch teddy! 🥰 #HappyWeekend #PetSitterLife #DogsOfBluesky
A wired-haired fox terrier with a long snout with a little black nose at the end, large, dark eyes and mostly white fur apart from beige ears and a grey, erect tail looks expectantly as he stands over a small, red rubber teddy on a white floor with a long, red rug with gold markings. A red leather sofa is to the left of the picture and the dog’s round, blue bed can be seen on a square rug that matches the other one.

Ready for the day! 🥰 #sunrise #beaches #DogsOfBluesky
A wired-haired fox terrier gazes out to sea on Scarborough beach, Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand beneath a blue sky that still contains the red hues of sunrise above the ocean and three small rocky islands. The terrier bites a pine cone on Scarborough beach overlooking a hill with an orange-red sunrise to the left of it. The terrier wags his tail as he carries a pine cone in his mouth on a beach beside a hill with a solar cross on it, as a red hue from the sunrise shines over the ocean beneath a blue sky.

A white wired fox terrier with a fluffy, beige moustache and beige ears looks into the camera on a sunlit Sumner Beach beneath a blue sky as white waves from the blue sea lash the shore in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand. The fox terrier stands beside brown seaweed on the beach in front of a hill in the background that’s covered in a mixture of bush and houses beneath a blue sky beside the blue sea as white waves lash the shore. Two people can be seen walking in the distance near the hill. The fox terrier sniffs out the brown-looking beach as the blue sea and its white waves beneath a blue sky in front of a hill that’s covered in a mixture of bush and houses.

Happy #Caturday! 😸
My last weekend with this lovely fella before we move on to look after a dog (saying that last bit quietly! 🤫) #PetSitterLife
A black and white part-Maine Coon with large, white whiskers protruding from just above his large, green eyes that are peppered with brown stares into the camera as he sits on a blue sofa, while resting against a brown cushion. A blue blanket is to the right of him. From in between his eyes down to around his mouth is white, apart from his small, pink nose and the rest of his head is black. He has a white belly and the rest of his fur is black but peppered with the odd white whisker. On the blue sofa behind they is a blue denim jacket and mustard-coloured backpack with a red jumper exposed on the unzipped front pocket.

The Moon glows red over hills, with its orange hue reflected in the sea in front of a white wave in a clear, dark sky at Orewa Beach, Aotearoa New Zealand. Green trees can just be made out to the right of the sea and through bright lights of Tāmaki Makaurau can be seen in the distance.

📷 Happy weekend! 💚 #nature 🥰
A grey-haired man with pale a pale skin complexion and dressed in a navy t-short and lilac shorts walks toward a bench on a sandy hill overlooking the white, sandy beach of Ruakākā, Aotearoa New Zealand. Several white waves are lashing the shore beneath a blue sky that’s peppered with clouds. The sea is aqua blue and the photo is framed by the outlines of two trees, which almost form a tunnel over the sandy path to the beach.
