Summer holidays in the Marlborough Sounds.

Living in New Zealand and more specifically in Blenheim can be so cool! We're so lucky to have the beautiful Marlborough Sounds as our own little playground. I spent some time there last weekend and this photo brought back great childhood memories of growing up in 'safe little New Zealand' and camping with my family for the summer holidays. This was where kids at camp grounds forged rapid and strong bonds and went biking here, there and everywhere. Partaking in outdoorsy pursuits like fishing off a wharf. Great stuff! Makes you glad to be alive.

Flower Power

With spring being here (it seems like I've been waiting a long time!) the winds have really picked up. Wind is Blenheim's best kept secret. We might get in the top three for sunshine hours every year but noone ever talks about the wind. The wind is so rough and strong it makes me cranky! It slams doors, makes my hair blow in my eyes but worst of all it smashes my lovley flowers. And I love flowers. I love them for their awesome beauty, their beautiful colours and those that smell good too, delicious!!! When you stop and really look at flowers, I mean really look closely at them, they are in fact pieces of incredible and structural wonder. With that in mind when we bought our new camera with its macro setting, I went straight to the park and spent hours just taking photos of flowers, nice and close. It was such fun. Here's some of my pics, enjoy!
