There are some famous rocks in the south island that attract tourists because of their shape, but this photo was taken in Taranaki at Tongaporutu.

fantail silhouettes

I saw this lovely bird flitting around the trees and tried to capture him against the

sunset sky.

My Corner of the World

Hubby left some photos on the camera for me before he left for work this morning and I was tickled to see the foggy sunrise (I don't do mornings!). Thanks, Hubby!

I just love wandering around the backroads, as I'm sure you've noticed! I get to see interesting and different things. For example, I mostly see pine trees, so autumn colors and bare tree limbs are a novelty for me.

I got excited to see some wild goats on the hillsides and Hubby helped

me photograph them all!

(As we drove, we saw so many that I stopped taking so many photos of them!)

At the bottom of the hill, I noticed this lone cow watching us taking photos.

I think it thought it was hiding :)

More photos to come.

from a bygone era

Hubby is quite happy to stop, back up, or turn around for me to shoot something when we are out riding around; but today was the first time he honestly looked confused when I told I wanted to go back to take photos of old power poles :)

We had passed quite a few of them around the little town of Tahora--minus wires, covered in lichen and moss; so, I decided to get photos, maybe the last ones of them ever.

They were just placed here and there except those along the roadside--not at all, in the straight lines we see today--but I thought they had a lot of personality, each one a little different. Sepia seemed appropriate.

critters from the weekend

Hubby took me for one of his awesome rides over the weekend!

We followed one road pretty much from one end to the other--which sounds easy, but there were portions of the road that were never completed, so there were detours to be taken.

Along the way we found some critters in the winter weather. We scared these hawks when we crested a hill.
