Timaru and Oamaru

On February 14th, I left the farm to begin my self-exploration of the South Island by car. I had plans to meet an online friend, Mathew, in Timaru, about two hours south of Christchurch. I took the scenic inland route and it was indeed eyecatching, but I didn't stop for many pictures, so here's just one I'm rather fond of from when I stopped at ( Read more... )

canterbury, nz, pets, friends, beach

wowwww gorgeous!! what's the story behind the boulders? i guess i could just google it...lol

"The Moeraki Boulders are a number of huge spherical stones, found strewn along a stretch of Koekohe Beach near Moeraki, a small settlement just south of Hampden on New Zealand's Otago coast. These boulders are grey-coloured septarian concretions which have been exposed through shoreline erosion from black mudstone coastal cliffs that back the beach. They originally formed in ancient sea floor sediments during the early Paleocene some 60 million years ago. "

that's really cool!

Oops, I meant to write a little about their history, but I forgot -- so thanks! Truly a marvel of nature. :)

Looks like heaven! Now I miss the beach more than ever. Will have to go visit my boy today for some lovin. They are shedding so badly that you come home covered. Perhaps I should collect it and build a horsehair rug!!

oh fun :) nice shots! Love the one of Mathew and Deacon on the rock, the sky is so nice and blue behind them.

Thank you for noticing the artistic quality of that shot rather than girlish-ly squeeing over the subject matter, lol!
