So.....how's it going north side of the north island? #Aotearoa #NoZzzzzealand #Kikorangi
A screenshot of the weather guy pointing on the wind map to the eye of the cyclone hitting NZ now and tomorrow
It’s fucking cold where I am and *I Do Not Like It*, but then I see what’s hitting NZ (Auckland, Northland, the Coramandel, etc. al.), and I can’t really complain.
Hang tough over there…

Wide, Colour, Landscape: A four-panel photographic sequence shows a person entering an outdoor swimming pool from a narrow concrete platform. All four images are framed from the same position under low, directional light. The pool water is a deep blue-green, and behind it, wide horizontal stone steps rise across the entire background, creating layered bands of shadow and light. In the first panel, the person is just about to make contact with the pool in a V shape, behind first, close to a pair of vertical metal pool ladders fixed to the platform. The person’s body is upright and partially silhouetted against the darker water. In the second panel, the person has moved forward into the pool. The body is angled downward and partly submerged, and a small, bright splash forms where the body meets the water. Ripples spread outward across the pool surface. In the third panel, the person is almost entirely below the surface. A larger splash rises vertically, forming a dense burst of pale, textured water droplets that contrast with the darker pool and background steps. In the fourth and final panel, the person is no longer visible above the water. The splash has expanded upward and outward, filling much of the right side of the frame with fine droplets and spray. The metal ladder remains fixed and unchanged throughout the sequence, and the stone steps in the background remain empty, emphasizing the single action unfolding over time. Last Manu of Summer? Not a chance…… New Zealand colloquial usage, a “manu” is a bomb or cannonball jump into water, done with the aim of creating the biggest possible splash. #Nikon #nz #Auckland #Aotearoa #Photography

It's a long read that seems to be more about self-praise for 1news than a major drama for Chambers.

A gorgeous candyfloss pink alstromeria flecked with crimson and yellow. Above it a hebe with its dead flowers and a euphorbia with its intense lime green and yellow flowers.
View down my woodchip garden path. Ferns, canna lillies, red campion, young tī Kōuka, nasturtium, lilioptra. Vibrant mix of greens and and a few scattered autumn leave from the neighbours apricot tree. A gray sky above.
This path was almost bare when I moved here a few years ago. Now it is abundant with life. #gardenlife #gratitude #magic_is_real

Life is so much more than we are.
Turkey tail growing on a cut log. The stripes are are gorgeous cream, rust and chocolate brown. You can see how velvety each tail is.
The garden is where the magic happens!

A green praying mantis with a flattened, leaf-like form clinging to bark, depositing a milky white unhardened egg case, or ootheca, from the end of her abdomen.
A cool praying mantis laying her ootheca on a cabbage tree in my yard!! I'm pretty sure this is the native species (Orthodera novazealandiae) though I cannot see her forearms to check for a blue eye-spot.

A white, curly-haired dog—possibly a poodle or doodle mix—peers over the top of a tall wooden fence. The dog has muddy paws resting on the ledge and a pink collar, looking off to the side with an alert expression against a background of white horizontal siding.

The Māori song featured in the film Project Hail Mary is "Pō Atarau" ("Now Is the Hour").
The song is featured in a pivotal, emotional farewell scene and is performed by the Turakina Māori Girls' Choir, specifically from their 1976 recording.
I wasn't crying, the cinema was a bit dusty #aotearoa
