new zealand

i've had my guest photographer out working for me again... my son just returned from a trip to wellington new zealand where he saw some interesting architecture, beautiful water views and even visited the botanical gardens.


this is actually a house in the style of a lighthouse
love it!

how about a boat for a balcony?





some of my favourite plants hydrangeas and succulents

& while i'm on the topic of new zealand i've recently found 3 lovely blogs you might like to check out..

    Great pictures! My son (who is 11) will be travelling to Australia this summer to visit my parents (by himself). I am making sure I arm him with a camera, so that he can be my guest photographer during his visit to Australia. He will be visiting Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne (My parents live in Ballarat).

    What wonderful photos. I'm in love with the house with a boat for a verandah :) Wellington is beautiful I've been told. One of the few places I haven't been to in the North Island xx
