This week marked the 7 year anniversary of my little dog, Bella coming to live with us.
This is a pic of when she was brand new to the household. Her first photo! Such a little puppy, and so timid and shy.
She’s certainly sassy and confident now, essentially ruling the roost!

I snapped this picture in Yarra Junction.

Last week I shared a few of the quaint doors my sister and I stumbled across while in Wellington. You can check them out here.
This week I have continued the theme with some more Kiwi gems…

Author’s note: I’m so sad to see the Weekly Photo Challenge come to an end. It has been a regular source of inspiration for generating posts, and often led to a different way to see one of my images. It has also helped connect me with so many wonderful bloggers with whom otherwise, I may not have had chance to connect. While, I don’t understand, nor really appreciate, the reasons behind the decision to cease The Daily Post as of May 31, I am compelled to participate one last time…
My sister and I visited New Zealand in April and found ourselves walking out and about the streets of Wellington, where we stumbled upon some simply charming doors!
More to come next week…
A few photos of the Buller Gorge Swing Bridge, near Murchison, New Zealand. Incidentally it is New Zealand’s longest swingbridge (110m). It was a very scary experience walking across! Luckily it wasn’t a windy day…
Dutch Goes The Photo, Tuesday Photo Challenge, Week 111 – Height
I first posted a few weeks ago, about this transmission station atop Mt Taylor in Canberra. I visited again last week (and encountered a rather brazen magpie along the way!) I was surprised to find that a LOT had changed since my last trip to the top. The scruffy-looking, graffiti-ridden squat building is no more as attempts have been made to beautify this structure with some street art.
Unfortunately, someone has since graffitied again over the top of the murals however I thought it would be interesting to post again with the transmission station’s ‘fresh look’…

I took these photos two weekends ago while catching up with some friends, at a delightful little place called Bank St Pizza, in Avenel. It was, as the name suggests, originally a bank. They have a wonderful kitchen garden, self-made wood fired ovens (check out the oven doors as well!), and of course, delicious food and wine…

Pennyweight Winery is located in Beechworth, Victoria, about half an hour’s drive from my house. I recently visited for the first time and found it to be a most charming and rustic cellar door! There were some lovely doors (even one that was detached!) and, of course, I tasted some delicious wines! I especially enjoyed their Pinot Noir and Red Blend.
