These are from the drive to Hamner Springs. A fairly touristy but non-the-less beautiful area with natural hot springs. 

The sun was setting as we drove through the hills and all around us they were turning that beautiful golden colour that can only be seen at this time of day.

Obviously I was too excited to get the exposure right and instead of capturing the beauty of the hills I captured the still beautiful colour of the sky.

I still like how these turned out though. So I guess it's okay. 

Totally thought I had more photos from Le Bons Bay.

But here are the two I have. 

There was an amazing estuary, it was so warm, which was amazing because the ocean water was like having ice in your pants. 

From our trip in the South Island before we left.

These are on Banks Peninsula. It was so beautiful. so dry and these clouds hanging over the peaks. 

We stopped in at Akaroa. A town famous for it's french settlers and thus it's frenchy vibe. But it was totally packed so we got a tip from a kind lady and headed to another, more secluded bay, Le Bons Bay. 

Snaps from there up next.

These are from, like, a year ago. (wince) so bad. BUT aren't the lovely? Top one is from Waikanae beach near Wellington. We had such a lovely day, albeit having to hide from the wind in a huge rock. Where we picnicked of course.

The other two are from the Milford Sounds trip with my parents/whole family. It was so moody and amazing. These really capture how it felt. 

Things have been pretty busy here. I finished uni and graduated and we got accepted for teaching jobs in Korea. We are pretty excited to leave and join some good friends over there but goodness we leave so soon! We leaving Wellington in 3 weeks and New Zealand in roughy 5 weeks. Yikes! So soon. I have so much sewing I want to do before we go, but I'm (trying) to be realistic and realise I can't do all the sewing I want. So will just have to go shopping in Daegu (where we will be living), where the shopping is apparently of the Richter amazing.

Anyway, I have a few films to develop before I go. And apparently it's cheap to develop over there. So you can be sure things will be coming, even if gaps between updates are large.
