The trip to New Zealand was really nice and I took a lot of pictures. It is good to see that they appreciate me too - here I am holding a bottle of a favorite Kiwi beverage named, of course, after me. Click on the picture to enlarge it and read the label carefully to see what a really good drink it is.

There were so many pictures I don't think I have the time to write the stories that go with them right now. So I am going to try and arrange them in photo albums. I've started a new one called New Zealand birds over in the sidebar for a starter. I'll try and add new albums as I get time.

Out for a Walk



Yellow Eyed Penguins in New Zealand

Nugget Point


Nugget Point, New Zealand South Island, is a beautiful place. The weather was great and we were fortunate to see lots of wildlife as well as scenery. I took lots of photographs... It is going to take a while to sort through them and perhaps post some of the better ones.

Nugget Point is named for the rocks in the water off the point. Sailors thought they looked golden in certain light. Nearby there are seals, penguins, and all sorts of other birds.
