Usually my posts focus on one or two subjects, but our visit to Zealandia was so good yesterday that I have more images to share. This is a real mixed bag of images. My intention on this visit was to put my camera through its paces testing out different auto focus settings. To do this […]

This morning the weather was stunning, so I picked up the camera and headed to Zealandia. I haven’t been there since November last year, so the visit was certainly over due. The first thing I came across while walking down the main track, was a couple of Zealandia Staff (or volunteers, not sure which) taking
