Wow, it's February already and not only have petrol prices jumped up 30 cents odd since, but I still haven't finished uploading my holiday pics! It all seems like the distant past now alas, but I have picked up a new obsession (it's not quite that bad, not yet anyhow..) for collecting teaspoons which all started with the one little spoon below that I picked up at Langfords Store in Bainham, just out of Takaka (love at first bite). I fear it won't be long before I'm purchasing some sort of rack to house them in..
Full moon rising at Collingwood, and on the right a couple of shots taken on the last day of the trip at Lake Rotoiti, including the obligatory black swan shot.. very obliging creatures.
Oh wow, those are really beautiful photos. Collingwood is one of my favourite places on earth, and when we go there we often pop over to Bainham just to buy a stamp or some royal family memorabilia (have you noticed they have a shelf of that lurking in the store?). What a great road trip...
I'd only ever really been as far as Nelson before (strange considering that most Cantabrians migrate up your way over the Summer holidays) but I just adored the area, and can't wait to get back up there again!
I was in heaven poking around the Langfords Store, with soo many little things to look at. You're so lucky having that on your back doorstep!

What very beautiful photos- looking at them is almost as good as being there! Sigh...Collingwood is one of my favourite places on earth.
