Time to get your crayons and your pencils:
West Coast South Island, NZ
The sign on the highway said something like: "Follow this road to see a white bird surrounded by endless awesomeness." So we followed. Bird identification is not my thing so I turned to Google for help [as always]. My best guess: white heron/kÅtuku. According to the NZ DOC, spotting the white heron is rare and "has attained almost mythical status." 
Abel Tasman National Park, NZ
I kayaked past this little starfish creature and immediately stopped, scooped it out of the water, and took a picture. Don't worry, I put it back. My kayak partner was one of the guides and he was AMAZING ... and did most of the paddling.
Franz Josef Glacier, NZ
There are people in this photograph. WHOAH! Scale.
The Grove, Pohara, NZ
The Grove is enchanted. I am serious.
Haast Blue Pools, NZ
Orange.
Haast Blue Pools, NZ
Crystal clear glacial water.
Jess,
ReplyDeleteAs always, your pictures are wonderful!
I'm so sorry for the failing health of your best friend. I lost my best friend to cancer almost a year ago, and I miss her so much more than "very much".
Meghan is fortunate to have you as her friend, because I know you will stay with her until the end.
Right now I have two friends who have cancer, one of which no longer has any hope of winning her battle. She told me this afternoon...and I'm so sad.
You hang in there, go do your thing in NZ and live your best life!
Fran
I am so sorry Fran.
