About two weeks ago I went up to Rotorua for two days. You may recall a few months ago I mentioned that I was going to Europe, well I was there for youth conference for the not-for-profit I'm involved in. As part of going over for the trip, I knew that I would be expected to give some talks about when I came back. Well, I was asked to do a talk at a charity auction in Rotorua. The dinner was wonderful and I got heaps of positive feedback, but the highlight for me was the next morning when my parents came drove and hour and a half to come and spend the morning with me. I hadn't seen them in about 4 months, so we spent a blissful 3 hours walking around the lake. Of course me being me, the camera had to come too.
Early morning on the Lake truly is such a peaceful time.
There were swan babies! So cute....
Messing with camera settings produces some really cool effects!
But most of the time nature itself is just so beautiful that it's a privilege and a joy to try and capture the beauty on film.
