Kaikohe 2010

Took a trip to New Zealand to meet up with old friends. Just for a week, but it was good and the weather was the greatest.I got some interesting photos while there and also witnessed the local school kids performing a welcome ceremony and Haka. What an experience.
One pic of that event and some scenery shots also, plus one of the Motel where I stayed. Wish I had a pic of the meals the chef produced. To die for doesn't even get near it.

Sun Peaks

We are staying for a few days at a ski resort about 2 hours north of home. No, I don't ski :)
This is the view from the living room of the house we are in.

Franz Joseph Glacier

Well, I finished it at last.... only took me 9 months, but who said I had to hurry?
Anyway, 16 x 20 inches oil on canvas, comments welcome. I like it anyway :)

Painting again

I've recently been doing some work on a painting I started in April/09. Oil 20 x 16 inches. It's from a photo I took of the Franz Joseph Glacier in NZ. I like it so far but don't hold your breath for the finished item :)

My Home

Just thought I should correct a possible misunderstanding. The posting a few days back entitled "Home" actually shows a house across the road from our house. That pic was just to show the lousy weather that greeted me. Anyway here is a photo of our place on College Drive. Yes, this one was taken on a more typical day in the Okanagan.

November Sunrise

Was around this morning as the sun was about to rise and got this photo. Soon it will be photos of snow and stuff :( At the moment still golfing... have to keep moving or freeze to the grass lol. Yes that is Kalamalka Lake in the foreground.

Home

Home again after a great time in Oz..... but look at the weather which greeted me. Not the greatest for sure.

I intend to keep the blog running but not the almost daily that it has been. To all who have been following my travels this time, I hope you enjoyed. I did, especially the comments you made. Thank you.
