The long and winding (Ngatiawa) Road

I try to follow the golden rule of remembering to carry a camera when strolling along in nature the road. When we went on a short stroll along Ngatiawa Road (east) this morning, I took it along, only to find that I’ve already photographed most of the noteworthy scenes.

Then I spotted the remains of the tree with which Richard the Woodcutter had almost blocked off Kents Road traffic: The photo does not do the height from which it fell any justice at all -  the top of that ridge is a good five/six storeys above the road. You don’t want to be standing here when he fells one of these pine giants! The ‘arrows’ sign has nothing to do with the tree-slide – it indicates the one-way narrow bridge over the river up ahead.

I looked around for more ordinary scenes, with these results:

Hi from Billy at the Ngatiawa/Kents T-junction

D
Lots of pretty weeds, seeds and wild flowers to be seen along the verge.

E
The winding road…

G
Mr Arachna designed his new home with one nice rectangular window. Then he got bored and made a whole bunch of funky odd-shaped ones.

The sun filtering through the trees at this peaceful scene with a wooden paddock gate.

The canopy above the road ahead creates a complete roof: ideal shelter if you get caught in an unexpected rain-shower.
