With Fine weather and very little traffic on the roads we headed out towards Cape Palliser via the Northern side of Lake Wairarapa...I had no idea it was so huge.
This beautifull little Church, at Burnside picture perfect, just had to be photographed on such a day.
At Waiongaranui we find such a beautifull spot to park up amongst native trees, someone has kindly named some, such a great place to get out of the wind and sun...thanks Shellie Evans for this and other recommendations we followed on this particular blog.
Happy wife..happy life...living proof!
I spot a natural pin cushion...
Pretty sure this is Matai Bark....
or maybe the local engineer with his ballpeen hammer
Its a pure simple joy for me to wonder and wunder, with my camera capturing nature.
Time out and time in...topping up my inner beauty tanks.....most essential.
Here are a few close ups of the rocks at the Putangirua Pinnacles.
Shell be right Mate...Shell be Right!
Total inspiration for Maori imagery.....perhaps!
It was a very grey day, with overcast skies and I had to over expose these shots to get any definition in the rocks
As you do....one wonders up and up!
Getting narrower and narrower!
Until one thinks....Hmm these rocks are pretty loose...?
I wonder what would happen in an earthquake.
So I takes me photos and skedaddles outta there!
Shellie had blogged and informed me all about this area, however I fell into the same trap as she and didn't find the connecting track from the valley floor to the ridge track and went nearly right back to the camp to get onto the Ridge Pinnacles look out track, Still it was well worth it.
I walked out on the Loop track through and across farmland with nice high views back to camp via Te Kopi, which is some sort of a camp for school trips etc, now no longer in use.
This big fella....just sat there after chasing his dinner...unsucessfully.
I made sure I was on full zoom though!
The Doc Camp at Putangirua had the Wellington Tramping club come in just on dark, which gave us evening entertainment watching them all set up tents, and they were all broken down ready to go tramping at 7am...gee am I glad I'm not a tramper anymore...in my day a tramping party was 3-4 mates tops...this was two bus loads with large packs, putties and swandri's.
Ah well.....that's another catch up blog all done and dusted...next is Ngawi and Cape Palliser.
Till then...Keep cool..... till after School...
Fun is... sooooo meant to be Fun.
Jimu & Christine.
