Are we there yet?

Thank you to those "experts" who have guided me through a couple of things - anyone can now add a comment, which should make for interesting reading :)
Another glorious day in paradise today, although the easterly came up later in the day - always ruins a perfect Canterbury day :(
This photo shows the sunset at 5.54pm this evening - quite special, I thought.
I shall probably end up doing short and sweet blogs initially until I get the hang of this and once I find out what kinds of snippets people are interested in reading from me.
Ka Kite

A new Era begins!

So, I've managed to work it all out thus far,now let's see if the next stage works. I am certain that there will be changes to this page as I learn more, so bear with me and share the trip too.
I have no idea what I will write on this; my intention is to ramble and meander and share some of how I find my joys in life with anyone who is interested - maybe that's you!
To begin with, the photo (left) is my all-time favourite, taken over the Southern Alps on a return flight from Melbourne in September '06.
One thing I love is the fact that by living in Christchurch, we are able to enjoy and surrender ourselves to the delights of experiencing ALL the seasons - this photo being an example of mid-winter in Canterbury - the snows and the views from our home are beyond belief - we are high enough on the hill to enjoy the views, but not so high up the hill we can't make out detail, and not so high that we miss the frosts - but hearing the cows baying on a foggy night is a sound NOT to be missed!
Anyway, to Angela and Jim, Fiona and John, Al and Greg, all of whom have inspired me to start this - many thanks guys, and may we share a fruitful blogging experience.
