i went to little barrier island today with the photo club. it’s a ‘closed’ nature reserve and you have to get special permission to go. i had to give my passport details and they check with interpol etc that you aren’t associated with any international bird or plant smuggling ring! lots of photoing and interesting sights. the actual arrival and departure at the island was via a small dingy with a fancy ramp/pulley system. cameras were in dry bags. i’ll do a proper review of my photos tomorrow
meanwhile here kezia had swimming so left home at 6am like me.
and esther had tennis. she won both her matches, including one which was very close so she was particularly pleased to win.
the rest of the day they’ve spent doing homework and house work whilst i’ve been swanning about on an island in the perfectly still sea
that makes me very thankful that i have a lovely family which lets me go out to have fun.
