Week 3 after quitting my day job. I had better hurry up and find another one, the planning committee is starting to come up with chores that need doing around the house. At least the dress code here is more relaxed than at most workplaces. Naturism has the best outfits for home decorating.

Met up with some people from the Hastings Beginners Photo Quest to try Astro Photography, but the cloud conspired against us. Making the best of the poor conditions, a bit of trial and error, some lessons learned and a whole lot of laughter with a great group of people I now consider friends.

Headed down to Hawke’s Bay to help a friend deliver a photography class. Managed to get out and take a few pictures.

This Tui followed me for part of the way on my walk today, almost begging to have his photo taken.

Naturists have a philosophical belief that the naked body is inherently non-sexual, yet social media treats all nudity as sexually explicit and blocks it.

Imagine if religious beliefs, symbols or texts were automatically blocked? How much outrage would there be?

We may be past the shortest day, and the days might be getting longer, but this morning's 1 degree C temperature was the coldest I've seen since moving to Tauranaga nearly 6 years ago.

Sunrise from the summit of Mount Maunganui.

Out for a walk today, saw this little beacon of light on a grey day.

Mount Maunganui is silhouetted by the first light of the day.

The last rays of the sun in the evening sky over Tauranga.

Loved the presence of this tree I saw on a recent walk.

Took a walk on Te Awa River Walk in Cambridge (NZ not UK). Loved this sculpture of a longfin eel.

Out and about at McLaren Falls on King’s Birthday holiday Monday.

First attempt at race director for our local parkrun. Thought I’d be subversive with the choice of hat for the event. If you know, you know.

Spending the weekend at a converted cowshed. A lot better than it sounds.

While everyone is trying to make AI generated action figures of themselves, I though I'd see how I looked as a muppet. Not going to lie, this might be my favourite profile picture to date.

Naturism at home. As winter creeps ever closer, I’m not sure I’m a big fan of this whole “it’s still dark when I get up” routine.
