After a successful exhibition opening last week in Tauranga I was looking forward to a bit of a relaxing week spending time with the family. My two nieces Nicola and Melissa were spending a week with Mum & Dad so I caught a ride back to Whakatane with them. At the roundabout near BayPark we caught up with ex Kawerau artist Owen Dippie and I took these shots of his Street Art with Nicolas camera. (Thats Nicky in the pink tee.)
Driving to Tauranga I've often admired the Joker, a painted tribute to Heath Ledger which is now joined by a graphic from "The Grudge" and in progress "Chuckie."
Awesome work Owen!

Awesome work Owen!

I was at the end of White Horse Drive recently taking pics of the pooks there - they are so tame cos I suspect the local residents feed them. The little buggers accost you as you get out of your car until they see you aren't there to give them a handout then they lose interest and head back to the murky little pond at the start of the birdwalk. One was talking a bath while another two preened each other. I'm lovin this new camera!
