Earlier months of this year





This is a catch up blog post - my apologies - I've done next to nothing for a good while - so these are the things that I snapped but hadn't yet posted (I thought they should be b/w to give them that historic look).

  We set out to climb High Junk Peak one lovely spring morning - here are the boys at the start of the path - lovely speckled light coming through the forest canopy.


In the pic below, Ange and Ev coming up to the saddle. [Grr - I have no idea how to get this formatting to work properly - so the writing might not exactly be where it should - punishment for the backlog hey].

Below that, Ev on the bench at the top of the saddle, looking over HK Island   
   
Ev and I take a break half way up. Huff and puff man - from the trees in the background I've been lugging the not so little dude.
The top of High Junk Peak, at the trig beacon. The air is good and chewy. If you look carefully next to Ange, you can see an island in the sea.
Aiden at the temple in Po Toi O
One morning we took a walk from our place to Po Toi O (about an hour).  On the way we stopped to watch a flock of radio controlled aeroplanes - loved this pic of Ev (who loved the planes).
I did a kitchen photo shoot for Ian who has a kitchen business starting - this was one of them - tough things to photograph, you wouldn't think so, but they are.
Another tricky thing - Jordan doing hand-stands.  Jordan went through a stage of doing at least a thousand handstands a day - any place.  In the first attempt (tricky of course because you are not looking through the camera) I managed to get myself more than her. 
This turned out best - nice grubby little kickers there Jord :-).  The pic below is completely unco-operative - so it's caption comes here - Ev, delighting in the Spring's first beach visit - nice chilly water - not to be deterred.
