Alright, so I'm moving to Aotearoa (New Zealand) from the US and am going to document some of it here. To get started, here's a pic of a hillside near Rotorua, New Zealand

We took @foresthazel.bsky.social’s mum to see the South Island and met a lovely Kea bird. This is right before our car became a snack. Also, we saw majestic mountains!

Got to spend the afternoon with @foresthazel.bsky.social and my dad at Skyline #Rotorua.
Photo showing Mokoia Island in Lake Rotorua, taken from the top of Skyline Rotorua. The picture shows the land at the bottom of the mountain, the expansive lake, and the substantial island situated in the centre. The picture is taken from a cafe patio at the top of the mountain.

@foresthazel.bsky.social and I got to see a duck in a duck pond, some friendly chickens, and a fabulous walking trail, all while enjoying a coffee in the parking lot at Days Bay Pavilion in Lower Hutt. #newzealand #aotearoa

Bertrand and I had a wonderful beach day at Ōhope Beach yesterday.
Bertrand the dog on a sandy beach on a sunny day. Clouds and beach on a sunny day with lots of beachgoers. Contrasting shades of blue in the water as the gentle ocean waves reach the sandy beach.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

It's been a while since my last Aotearoa post, but got to spend a weekend in Dunedin with @foresthazel.bsky.social and we got to see so many beautiful things! Like this huge albatross! #Dunedin #NewZealand

Alright all, been a while but I'm back with more cataloging of my new life in New Zealand! This was a small cave that I saw with @foresthazel.bsky.social on our Railcruising adventure near Rotorua. #NewZealand
Mossy cave entrance with leaning wooden door.

Had a wonderful time at RailCruising in Rotorua. Got to see the lovely landscape and woods on a private railway in a private four-person car. #NewZealand
A curved railway track surrounded by dense green foliage and tall trees in a forest setting. The ground is covered with brown leaves, creating a natural and serene atmosphere.
