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.

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.

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

Signage for Bad Habits restaurant & bar showing anthropomophic bull with a cowboy hat.
Plate of dinner as described. It looks messy & I had made a first cut before taking the photo. It was rare as ordered & though messy looking tasted fine.
Steak dinner at Bad Habits (Paihia). Went with the sirloin (NZ$45) which comes with sauce (I chose pepper mushroom sauce), fries or garlic mash potato, and salad. #Paihia #Northland #NorthlandEats #Aotearoa #NewZealand 🍜🍽️

A toned black and white infrared photo showing two spans of a wooden girder style road bridge across a river, and a gap where the third span used to be. The near shore is shingle and the far bank is hilly, and covered with bush.

Haruru Falls, just out of Paihia (less than 10 minute drive) was a quick digression, with a regular trickle of sightseers. Be patient to get a people-less photo, or roll with it. #Northland #NorthlandScenes #Aotearoa #NewZealand #somethingBeautiful #HaruruFalls

View through window fish net of the sea at Mangonui, with boats moored.
Fish & chips with the end of the piece of fish broken off to show the white flakes of bluenose fillet.
Mangonui Fish Shop counter showing the menu & kitchen out back.
Exterior of the Mangonui Fish Shop.
Fish & chips at the famous Mangonui Fish Shop. Got the Catch of the Day (NZ$16.50) which was Bluenose, but they'd changed to Hapuku soon after. Plus chips & tomato sauce. The fish was so fresh & delicious. #Northland #Mangonui #NorthlandEats #Aotearoa #NewZealand

The Container Cafe just north of Pukenui.
Paua pie half-eaten, showing the filling.
Paua pie, intact, before the first bite. It sits on the brown paper bag it came in, is round & pastry is golden brown.
The Container Cafe menu on a 'blackboard' showing that Paua Pies are NZ13 each. (Other menu items are cheaper)
On the way back from Cape Reinga, stopped at the Container Cafe just north of Pukenui for Paua PIe (NZ$13). Not cheap, but hey, on holiday. Was the best paua pie I've ever had. #Northland #NorthlandEats #Aotearoa #NewZealand

Cape Reinga lighthouse
Looking north to sea from Cape Reinga lighthouse lookout. It is a fine sunny day with white clouds in the blue sky. The sea is a mix of light & dark blue. To the left is the Tasman Sea & to the right is the Pacific Ocean. It is sea all the way to the horizon.
Looking down & north to the northernmost bit of Cape Reinga where according to Maori lore is the point where spirits depart Aotearoa New Zealand.
Photo taken from path nearer the carpark showing how far (~800m) the Cape Reinga lighthouse, visible in the distance) is. Toetoe (tussock grass) is visible in the foreground.
~3hour drive from Paihia to Cape Reinga (about as north as you can go) & lighthouse. Left is Tasman Sea, right is Pacific Ocean. According to lore, this is where Māori spirits depart Aotearoa. Weather was lovely. #Northland #NorthlandScenes #Aotearoa #NewZealand #somethingBeautiful #CapeReinga

A dozen oysters in half-shell on a platter of ice, with a couple of wedges of lemon in the middle
Oyster burger: tempura oysters, smoked bacon & onion chutney, crispy onion bhaji, chilli mayo, lime & cucumber slaw in a brioche bun. And fries. Other menu items are mostly fusion all over the place & based on the oyster burger, probably too confused for my taste.
Paihia. Dinner at Tipsy Oyster, a bar/tapas place with good reviews. Had the oysters, oyster burger (tempura oysters, smoked bacon & onion chutney, crispy onion bhaji, chilli mayo, lime & cucumber slaw), and fries. Menu is fusion all over the place... #Northland #NorthlandEats #Aotearoa #NewZealand

A wooden bench outside a Russell house, at one end is seated a giant stuffed humanoid bunny with a slightly disturbing expression.
View of Russell Museum with a two pou (Māori carved wooden posts) on the lawn. To the right of the building is a boatshed housing a a model of Dumont d’Urville’s ship.
View of Russell Beach on a lovely sunny day with a pier sticking out on the water & the sea looking blue.
Big old Moreton Bay fig tree stands outside the local constable's house. According to the information, the tree was planted around 1880.
Went up north for Easter. Russell (Kororāreka) was once "Hell Hole of the Pacific". Now picturesque, including a big old Moreton Bay fig tree. #Northland #NorthlandScenes #Aotearoa #NewZealand #somethingBeautiful
