A judge's comments on this image in a local camera club competition:
Without the Pathway this would be so much less yet where does it lead us? Simply a short distance and then loses us among the trees. Yet in someway the end of the path give us the point from which we look upward and examine the tracery of snow-covered branches before returning via the trunks to the starting point. An interesting tonal range too sets this one apart. This image has a fairy – tale quality to it and I find myself thinking of the Brothers Grimm and maybe expecting hobgoblins to pop out from among the trees. Somewhere it played on my emotions and captured my imagination from the start.
Received an honours award in the projected image competition number 6 at CPS, October 2009. I have also made this into a triptich of three canvases about two meters long overall.

The Pathways Hotel hosts an Artist's Night every week. We missed it while we were snorkeling the night before but it sounds like a good time. Local artisans come to demonstrate how they make various handicrafts and then the crafts go on sale at the front table of the hotel.
Steve spent some time explaining the different uses of each product, and showed us the ones that he had made (see the notes above).
Hedgy didn't know what to do as he sat all by his lonesome in the pathway. Lost in this big world of wonder, Hedgy sits, awaiting for his destiny.
On a walk around lIam Gardens with a Flickr freind. October 27th 2017 Christchurch New Zealand.
In 1860 Sir John Cracroft Wilson came to Christchurch from India and brought seeds of a few varieties of rhododendrons and raised seedlings. Rhododendrons growing along the drive at Strowan kindled Stead's interest in these flowers, but there were few varieties available in New Zealand. He imported some for Ilam each year and from 1918 used cool storage for importing them.
The soil at Ilam is a heavy clay which is slightly acid, and is known as Ilam pug. It is particularly suited to rhododendrons, azaleas, and other trees.
Stead began trying out layering, grafting and raising seedlings to produce larger and more brilliant flowers. He was a pioneer in using pinus radiata sawdust as a mulch for the plants.
In 1917 Stead was given seeds of the North American varieties and began experimenting with hybridising them.
