Off to see some lovely local theatre tonight, and dressing up real nice for it!

#CommunityTheatre #Ōtautahi #Christchurch

A light-skinned person with short medium-brown smiling into the camera. They are wearing glasses, a super cute cream blouse with embroidered red and purple floral motifs on the collar, and a hand-crocheted sweater vest in a lucious berry red. The background is blurred and unexciting, but shows the photo to have been taken indoors.

Une balade au clair d'Akaroa

La baie d’Akaroa s’ouvre comme un refuge suspendu. Flavien embarque en quête du rare dauphin d’Hector, avec l’espoir de donner voix à l’invisible. Vœu exaucé pour son plus grand plaisir.
Vestiges d’une colonie française contés au musée, des otaries à la forêt Hinawai, tout ici vous parle d’un passé qui se même au présent. Chaque pas, même imparfait est composé de surprises. Lorsque la lumière décline, la nuit révèle ses trésors.
Akaroa devient alors plus qu’un paysage — un chant fragile entre Flavien et la nature.

Au premier plan, on aperçoit un petit promontoire rocheux bordant une eau claire, presque immobile. Fait de bois, il s’avance de la rive jusqu’à la mer, soutenu par des pilotis fins.
Plusieurs voiliers blancs sont ancrés dans la baie, immobiles sur l’eau d’un bleu laiteux. À l’arrière-plan, les collines douces et vertes se déploient sous un ciel bleu vif, parsemé de quelques nuages blancs.
De petites maisons blanches et des bâtiments épars ponctuent le rivage, évoquant un village tranquille au bord de l’eau.
L’atmosphère générale est calme, lumineuse, presque méditative — une impression de sérénité absolue, comme un matin d’été dans un port lointain.

Watch out: the weather is warming and the American ragwort aphids are *multiplying*.

American ragwort aphids specialise on Senecio plants, of which NZ has many species, including some threatened endemic species.

The aphid arrived in NZ (somehow) in 2023, and has since got to work munching on our plants. The American aphids are also now being tended and protected by exotic Australian ants.

In the South Island these aphids are still restricted to Christchurch city (at least based on observations on #iNaturalist and #GBIF).

It would be great if you could keep a look out for them in other places. They're the only big black aphid in NZ (black bodies and legs).

Here are three of my observations of them from this month.

Respect to whoever went the extra mile to make this Minion letterbox.

I stopped to photograph it at the entrance to a rural driveway in Lyttelton Harbour. I like how yellow reflectors have been added to it can be seen by car traffic.

Some skilled parent must be very popular with their children. 😀
