A selection of pink and purple flowers from. My #CityNatureChallenge observations today. I don’t have a camera suitable for distance shots of birds so I tend to include a lot of plants which hold still and let me get close with my phone #BloomScrolling #TamakiMakaurau #Aotearoa #Florespondence
This weekend the #CityNatureChallenge will be going on all over the world using the iNaturalist app to share our amazing biodiversity. You don’t need to be able to ID the species, just upload the photos and someone will do their best to ID it.
#TāmakiMakaurau tends to trail behind our #nature passionate siblings in Whanganui-a-Tara and Ōtautahi (despite our size) so all help gratefully received. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather and see how we go!

It was a beautiful Autumn Sunday for a walk in the Āwhitu Regional Park
The little island is Kauritutahi Island. The spiky thing on the horizon to the left of Kauritutahi Island is Auckland's Skytower. Distance to there: 25km as the seagull flies, or 95km by road.

Explorer are doing a 25% off deal until the end of May. Went to Waiheke, Man O' War Vineyard for a winetasting & lunch. Then a side trek to the Waiheke Distilling Company for a gin tasting. Was a glorious day for an island excursion. #Auckland #TamakiMakaurau #Waiheke #nzwine #somethingBeautiful https://www.exploregroup.co.nz/auckland/man-o-war/

Sky & Sea.
The days may be getting shorter but it's still light really early. Not the most spectacular morning but I really like the way the colours look in the sky & reflected on the water. #TamakiMakaurau #Auckland #sunrise #somethingBeautiful
Train frequencies might be barely 1/hour in #TāmakiMakaurau right now, but I'm still counting it as a win.
Because it's not only a holiday, it's THE holiday when everything is closed.
And we won't have trains in the city for a full month.
Trains are running on a weekend in #TāmakiMakaurau!
Will you be in #TāmakiMakaurau on Monday morning?
Do you want to come and rain on #Fonterra's Parade?
We're making a banner at their annual Shareholders’ Fund Meeting
It'll be fun. Join us!
