Wouldn’t have wanted to miss it

I’d say it’s highly unlikely that I’ll attempt to hike the Fjällräven Classic again. I tried it twice and failed both times at the same spot: Sälka (see photo). This doesn’t mean I’m discouraged to go outdoors and hike! I still plan to do multiple day hikes, but maybe in less rough terrain (at least forContinueContinue reading “Wouldn’t have wanted to miss it”

Cool tones

Enjoying an evening stroll on Hahei Beach. I love how no sunset is the same. This one has some cooler tones, giving it a crisp and bright feel. I love it!

Pop

I love how the blue petals of this flower just pop off the screen! I took this photo when I was at Hopewell last December. Guess this shot was one of those ‘happy accidents’ as Bob Ross would have said. I’m completely in love with how this photo turned out!

Cathedral Cove

One of the things on my wish list for this latest trip to New Zealand was Cathedral Cove. I’d seen so many photos online and was really excited to see it for myself. Luckily, mom was up for it, so off we went! It was about a 45-minute walk from Hahei Beach to Cathedral Cove.ContinueContinue reading “Cathedral Cove”
