View of Mount Aspiring
I love mountains! This will be the basis of a painting one day...
Looking towards Glenorchy & the Paridise Valley
Simply awsome, inspiration for another painting!
Red Deer stag
I photographed this stag at Deer Park Heights in Queenstown,
a truly wonderful place to visit, & not only for the opportunity
to get up close to the animals, but to photograph the brilliant
views! I was so disapointed to hear that it was closed to the
public soon after we visited in April 2009.
The next few are all views from various parts of the deer park...
Looking back down on the Frankton Arm
from the top of a deer paddock.
No need for helicoptors when you can drive this high up!
Diamond Lake
This small lake is beautiful, it is not far from Wanaka.
I played around with the graphics to turn this
photo into the graphic "sketch" below.
"Standing Tall"
New Zealand Rimu, photographed in native forest, Fiordland.
"The hills of Dunedin"
Photographed from Aramoana
Arnie in the wisteria
Dearly loved, sorely missed...
"Kea Eats Holden!"
This Kea tried to eat my sisters' car. This was because
we obeyed the warning signs & refused to feed it. We
then came to the conclusion that it is better to give
them a few meusli bars than to have all the rubber
stripped from your vehicle... ;-)
