A beautiful day in Aucks, so took the camera out for a whirl 📷
Sunrise was a total disappointment, took a couple of ok shots at Onehunga, and an underwhelming sunset at Pt Chev. Thank goodness for the pōhutukawa trees to add interest.

After more than 30 years of holidays in Athenree & Waihī Beach, I finally stopped to walk in the Karangahake Gorge. I went early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
The gold mine remnants make it even more interesting. Photo opportunities were pretty tricky due to the shadows. There’s only a couple of shots I’m happy with but I’m determined to post more regularly in 2026.
Feeling grateful that I was able to enjoy these walks and views before the terrible weather, flooding and road closures.

2025 wrap up 📸 Last year was another year of not getting out with the camera much. I’m feeling a bit despondent and I think I’m losing my mojo 😔 Maybe 2026 will be better (if I make it a priority, and do a couple of courses again).
Anyhoo, I’ve chosen 12 of my fav shots from the year - plenty of sunrises, water and reflections.

I ventured down to North Wharf and Westhaven Marina a couple of days after my last sunrise wander. Although the sunrise didn’t wow me, it was beautifully calm so there was plenty of opportunity for reflections.

I was hoping for a beautiful sunrise last weekend for a visit to one of my favourite spots for reflections. It started to rain on my arrival but stopped in time to get these. Although I didn’t get the sunrise colours I was hoping for, the reflections were still pretty good.

Spent a relaxing few days in Raglan last week. Stunning mornings, bright blue skies and sea, and my first time at Warēinga (Bridal Veil Falls). I had thought I would just go to the top viewing deck but it was so high! Too scary for me so had to face the 261 steps down (and back up) - definitely worth it!

The sunflower fields at sunset 🧡 we definitely picked a great night for it. I particularly like the sunset heads silhouetted against the sky.

The new butterfly house at Franklin Farm is so good! 🧡 What beauties the Monarchs are.
Butterflies are tricky things to capture especially in the breezy conditions but I’m generally happy with most of these. I’ve tried to do a bit of focus and a bit of blur in a few shots to add interest too.
