Our first 3 months back

We have been busy the last 3 months settling into our new jobs: Kristen at Te Whare O Matairangi and Richard at Te Whare Marie. Still, we've been able to get out and about enough to collect a few nice photos. Oh yeah, the Rugby World Cup was going on as well, which was an amazing experience (with a happy ending--Go The All Blacks!)
Now that summer is here and things are slowing down a bit, we'll post more regularly. In the meantime, enjoy these images of Aotearoa.
Young Nick's Head, Poverty Bay, Gisborne.
A frosty late winter sunrise, also in Gisborne.
Shine Falls, the highest in Hawkes Bay, and a perfect reward for a brisk hike along the Boundary Stream Reserve Trail (look closely bottom right to see K)
The Ngatarawa Winery in Napier.
Te Mata Peak outside of Hastings.
The view of Kapiti Island from Paraparaumu, taken on Thanksgiving Day.
The Rimutaka Range in the background, a bog along the Lake Wairarapa.
A remote area in the Southeast coast of the North Island, not far from Castle Point.
The world's longest place name.
The black sand beaches of Mahia.
