boeckli Posted February 24, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Lighthouses at Pencarrow Head, on departing Wellington, New Zealand Found the following info on the upper (no longer used) one: The site of New Zealand's first lighthouse Pencarrow Head marks the eastern entrance to Wellington Harbour. Initially in 1841, two wooden markers were built in but these blew away. A make shift beacon was then built and was tended by George Bennett and his wife Mary. In June 1858 the iron tower arrived from England and was landed on Pencarrow beach then assembled on the cliffs above. Unfortunately by the time it was built George Bennett had drowned in a boating accident (1855) so his wife Mary became New Zealand's first official lighthouse keeper. George White Bennett died June 9, 1855. Buried St Paul's Church, Molesworth Street, Thornton, Wellington. The light was first lit 1 January 1859.

Cindy Posted February 25, 2013 #19 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I put up a bird feeder yesterday. The cardinals love it! This squirrel was pretty interested in it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengu1n Posted February 25, 2013 #20 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Are the orrange flowers trumpit flowers? No, I think it's a Geiger tree aka Cordia sebestena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky-elpaso Posted February 25, 2013 #21 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Nice Cardinal and squirrel shots. I miss them (grew up in Michigan) - we see an occasional red squirrel down here but not often. We have little ground squirrels but trying to get a shot of them is hard - they're quick.

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 25, 2013 #22 Share Posted February 25, 2013 No, I think it's a Geiger tree aka Cordia sebestena. Thanks -- it is beautiful. We used to have trumpet vines with flowers very similar to yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pictures Cindy!! We have 6 feeders and 4 suet cakes -- the birds and squirrels fight over who is to be on what feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted February 25, 2013 #24 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Great pictures Cindy!! We have 6 feeders and 4 suet cakes -- the birds and squirrels fight over who is to be on what feeder. I might have to try that! Our squirrels are actually quite entertaining...they love to play chase along the top of the fence. The squirrel on the patio was cracking me up. He had both hands full, and kept making a run at a tree, but couldn't figure out how to do it without giving up some food. This probably went on for 10 minutes, and I was inside taking pictures of this squirrel's frustration and laughing out loud! Here he/she is again with their "loot!"
