A willow frames it
This series is taken at The Groynes wetland and recreational Park, Christchurch, New Zealand.
The Groynes derives its name from large concrete blocks, made from concrete filled woolsacks, jutting into the Otukaikino Creek. The Otukaikino, once the south branch of the Waimakariri River, was separated from the main branch during the course of major works in the 1930's. The free flowing creek, springs and crystal clear ponds creates a wetland landscape with considerable recreational and natural values.
It is used for picnicking, walking, kayaking and boating, bird watching, dog exercising and fishing. There are numerous wetland, pastoral and woodland birds, a combination of introduced and native species. A restoration programme is slowly seeing native vegetation restored in large areas of the Groynes area which encourages more native birds and insects.
