The ups and downs
A busy work day today but I made time to go out and smell the roses in the garden. Ok, this is not a rose and it has no scent but it is stunning!

I am always amazed how quickly stuff grows in New Zealand. Just a week ago these plants were all leaves and a few flowers. Now they are fruiting big style! But can you spot the odd one out?

Occasionally I join in with the Weekend Hashtag Project on Instagram if the theme inspires me. “The goal this weekend is to give an insider’s look into your community through creative photos and videos”
This is my contribution so far; a wee cafe hidden away in Hamilton East which makes the best coffee!
A grey start to the day but the sun came out when we got to the southernmost tip of South Island.
Slope Point is aptly named – check out our holiday blog for more photos later.
First day in the Catlins and so many beautiful shots to choose from! A day spent at waterfalls, in bush and at beaches. This one from Purakaunui waterfall gets the pick. Apparently one of the most photographed waterfalls in New Zealand.
