A Typical Okarito evening???

Last tuesday we went for a wee wander up one of our favourite local walks...it is almost at our back door! Okarito Trig

old wharf posts.

R putting our boat away.

some locals...

...and a few more!


sorry, got a wee bit carried away with the old Harakeke flowers!
but they did look awesome in the evening glow!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
there is a bit of World Cup fever in our house at the moment...will show photos soon of the madness!

Recycling Super-stars!

Good Magazine is one of my MOST favourite mags...(yes ...I do admit to a small addiction to magazines!)... and this issue is even cooler because our neighbours feature in it as well as a local photographer!


sorry about my bad photos of the article ...Petr's are way better!
