To the best of my recollection, this was a bit of a blustery day. It was also the day that everything changed. First, let’s start with the photo. The wind didn’t seem to bother these two carefree little girls as they played along the shores of Lake Wanaka. This, however, was the day that everything […]

Lindis Pass was a change in plans This was a windy stop on our road trip, but Lindis Pass was the only way to get from Queenstown to our next stop, which was a change in plans after the road washed out due to torrential rains. As a matter of fact, not only did the […]

Another shot taken during our visit to New Zealand last year. This small dock on Lake Te Anau looked so serene that I wondered how much activity it really saw. As evening came on, there was nothing happening. But during the day, who knows? This might be a hopping place. If you’d like to see […]

Small boat on Lake Te Anau This photo of a small boat at Lake Te Anau was taken after dinner on Day 9 of our New Zealand land tour. The real reason we went for a walk was that we were stuffed from a huge meal. In an effort to “walk off” dinner, we went […]

I wasn’t planning on putting up another Milford Sound photo, but when I saw this red tour boat, I was reminded of my mother, who loved to paint things like boats and water. So, here we go. This tour boat was cruising out on a tour as we were returning to the dock. The bright […]

This perfect reflection at Mirror Lakes was captivating. As I said last week, we’d heard about the beauty, but not much could prepare us for seeing these mountains in the water. Add to that the crystal clear visibility—both in the water and the air—and this was a recipe for an amazing experience. Here’s the map […]

New Zealand’s fabulous Mirror Lakes were a complete surprise to us. Though we had been prepared by our guide and told about it, there was nothing like seeing it in person. This is one of those places where I could have spent half the day taking photos. It’s a long drive to get there, but […]

New Zealand farmhouse in the fog It was Day 11 on our land tour when I captured this New Zealand farmhouse photo. We were driving into the fog, so this was the last good photo until it lifted. We were on the road early that morning. As most days were, it was going to be […]

Welcome to Lake Te Anau, the home to this magnificent lake in New Zealand. We had a single night stop here and were scheduled to go to the bird sanctuary the following day. For this evening, after we’d had a fabulous dinner, we decided we needed to walk off all those calories. Our walk was […]

Last week I said I’d finished with my Milford Sound photos, but when I saw this one I decided I had to share one more. I’m always a sucker for great photo ops. When the light is perfect, I can’t help but give it a try. So, near the end of our ferry tour, the […]

In all the years we lived in the Bay Area, we seldom crossed the Golden Gate Bridge. We occasionally saw the iconic landmark from afar and admired its beauty. But fighting the Bay Area traffic to cross the bridge never was high on our priority list. Still, like most Californians, we loved this magnificent suspension bridge. For our recent road trip, we did make the crossing. As it is for most visitors, it was an amazing experience.
