Heading to Whakarewarewa to get some biking in before it gets soaked. Possibly camping in my car and squeezing a ride in tomorrow morning.
Any other tooters likely to be there?

Primary school trip each year for first year at school, my urchins all went to the local lion park to pat the lion cubs.
What did it feel like? "a lion".
Their last year at the primary school, they visit Mokia island in the lake, & see & hear the protected rare native birds.

My god it was 24c at 5:30am when I started. Pure willpower got me the last hour. This is how I felt at the end. Also I'm fueling better and didn't once feel hungry, so thats good. I was able to keep pace to the 30k mark. 7 weeks to go! #marathontraining #runsky #running #rotoruamarathon #rotorua #nz

We spent a week in Taupō and Rotorua as part of our broader three-week road trip around the North Island of New Zealand / Te Ika-a-Māui. It was a great way to show my husband all my favourite childhood vacation spots.

NZ road trip
#nz #roadtrip #coromandel #rotorua Road trip last month. Have to say NZ is my happy place.
Centre of a sunflower showing the spiral of flower heads. There a lots of tiny flowers inside the larger sunflower.
Bumblebee on a sunflower. The majority of the sunflower center is filled with small flower spikes. The background is blue with soft white clouds.
A sunflower in a field of sunflowers. This one has a honey bee in it's petals. The centre of this flower has a textured pattern.
Side view of the centre of a sunflower. This one has all the smaller flower heads open. There are black tips at the end of the centre flowers.
More sunflowers.
I just loved my visit with them.

Yellow sunflower with a bumblebee in the centre of the flower. The background has blue sky and clouds.
If you are in #Rotorua this weekend, the Sunflowers are still out, and worth a visit.

Sunflowers in a field. The closest yellow sunflower has a bumblebee on the edge. The flowers in the background are blurred, as it was windy.
Sunflower with a bumble bee. The sunlight make the wings of the bumblebee glisten. The sky is blue.
A tall sunflower with a bumble bee in it's centre. The background is a field of blurred sunflowers, as they were dancing in the wind.
A sunflower with wayward petals blowing in the wind. A bumblebee is in the centre of the flower.
Walked amongst some sunflowers today.
These ones were taller than me, and danced in the wind.
So many bees.

Borrelende modder, sissende stoom. #Rotorua laat zien hoe levend de aarde is. 💨 🌏 Hier kookt de aarde gewoon aan de oppervlakte. Blijft fascinerend.

Road cone with a reflective orange arrow. The light comes from my headlamp. Everything else is dark. The insects like the light, so now I am turning it off.
Left the house at 3am. Neighbour family also. Crazy start to the day. Aid stations and marshalling for the Tarawera Ultra. I’m in the forest, Ruru & wallaby keeping me company. Should be a great & long day.
#rotorua #stillwakingup
Nearly done with the videos from our Japan, Australia, New Zealand & South Korea trip! It’s taking me a year to get all these done, but just a few more to go.

Black bird in shallow water. The bird has a red eyes, and a white beak. Between the eyes is more white, like a shield. The water is clear, and the sand is visable beow the gentle waves.

Lake Okareka showing off its beautiful blue refreshing water. The hills in the background are covered in native forest. Yellow buoys are spaced apart near the shore.
Feeling accomplished. Swam to the 4th buoy today,
Goal is to 6th buoy by the end of February.
A dragonfly kept me company.
A wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon.

Wedges representing each day of twelve months sewn into rows across a design board. The rows are not sewn together. The left side of each row has a small square of paper pinned to it, with the letter 1 and month written on it. A work in progress temperature artwork. All months are represented with January 2025 at the top, and December 2025 at the bottom. The warm summer and autumn colours are at each end, and the cooler winter spring colours are in the middle. The glitter fabric that represents frost makes pops of white colour in the middle of the textile artwork.
Detail of the last 4 months of 2025. A small koru / unfurled fern represents Spring equinox, and three rows below it, is the strawberry representing Summer Solstice.
A detail of several months showing the ranges in colour from cold purple -3 and hot red + 28 degrees celcius. There are lots of green wedges, interestingly moving from the warmer temperature in winter, to the cooler temperatures in Spring / Summer.
A work in progress temperature artwork. All months are represented with January 2025 at the top, and December 2025 at the bottom. I like how the warm colours are at each end, and the cooler colours in the middle.

Auf dem Bild sind zwei Frauen zu sehen, die offenbar bis zum Oberkörper mit dunklem Schlamm oder Vulkanerde bedeckt sind. Beide Personen haben Schlamm im Gesicht und auf den Schultern, vermutlich eine Schlamm- oder Fangokur (z. B. Thermalbad, Vulkanregion, Wellnessanwendung). Sie strecken die Zunge heraus und wirken dabei fröhlich, verspielt und entspannt – das Bild hat einen humorvollen Charakter. Die Haare sind nass, was darauf hindeutet, dass sie sich gerade in oder nach einem Bad befinden. Die Umgebung wirkt felsig und naturbelassen, eventuell eine Thermalquelle, ein Naturbecken oder eine vulkanische Landschaft. Kleidung: einfache Trägertops/Badebekleidung, passend zur Situation. Das Foto ist ein Selfie, aufgenommen aus kurzer Distanz. Sehr locker, lebensfroh und authentisch Zeigt Spaß, Freundschaft oder Verbundenheit Kein inszeniertes Bild, sondern ein ehrlicher Moment

Just Booked: A wonderful couple asked me to help them with a post-cruise tour around New Zealand's #NorthIsland. They'll be renting a car and hitting spots like Weta Cave in #Wellington, Mount Ngauruhoe (Mt. Doom), #Rotorua, #Hobbiton and #Auckland. They're going to have an epic #Nerdventure!
