Even though we don't have the pleasure of caring for pets. I still enjoy capturing these fun captivating animals. This time it was on a local beach🧡 . . . #whiteandblue #dogsofinstagram #instadog #whitedogs #instadaily #nzmustdo #tauranga #newzealand #summervibes #snap #beachwalks #summer2019 #LIFEATNO22nz #nzblogger #travelnz #bayofplentynz
Another week, another hike. Todays was much shorter, around a part of Lake Okareka (photo shown was taken a while ago, didn't have an opportunity to take many of todays venture) and then a quick drive to Okere Falls for a walk and lunch. Brought memories back of my experience going down the Kaituna river in a raft, way back in 1989!! No group hike is ever complete without a coffee or icecream afterwards🧡 . . . #grouphike #lakeokareka #okerefalls #kaitunarafting #exercisemotivation #exercises #hotsummerdays #summer2019 #LIFEATNO22nz #blogger #nzlife #bushwalking #nzmustdo #bayofplentynz #newzealand #inthemoment #freshair #lake #hikingadventure #travelnz

I love visiting Art Galleries especially ones with a sense of celebration, festivity, and playfulness such as local artist Emma Prill's work. She has created a botanical environment on an impressive scale. Growing from the walls of the Tauranga Art Gallery Atrium space are sprays of colourful flowers that reflect the textures, colours, light and forms of a garden. Working with community groups, who have attended gatherings, drop-in sessions and workshops, she has developed an installation that extends on her exploration of flowers and their symbolic relationships to travel and memory🧡 . . . #taurangaartist #emmaprill #taurangaartgallery #tauranga #bayofplentynz #nztourism #nzmustdo #loveart #flowersofinstagram #creativity #colourful #LIFEATNO22nz #innercitylife

A photographic display downtown had us discussing the merits/no merits of captive animals after viewing the winning photo captured at Chester Zoo. A place I visited in the 1980s. Thats what art should do, to make us think!
