Last weekend, Nevin, Sara & "Hurricane Monti" came
up from Wanaka. We all had a neat 3 days, taking
Monti to Caroline Bay and out to my old haunts at
Seadown visiting The Shearers Quarters for Brunch
and introducing Monti to some animals....he loved it.

Lochmara - Queens Charlotte Sound

I have just returned from a week at Lochmara Lodge,
a delightful place situated in Queen Charlotte Sound
& only accessible by water taxi, or if you are walking
the track. It covers 11 acres & incorporates a Wildlife
Recovery programme, Arts Centre & Scupture Trail.
Good accommodation & a fantastic restaurant.
The staff were such fun & made us very welcome.

I was doing a Photo Essay Workshop tutored by
Mary-Jo Bedford. It was heaps of fun, we were
kept very busy taking images then working at
our laptop selecting images to make into a Photo
Essay, the topic given to us the previous day.

These photo's show what a picturesque place this
area is and many activities to keep yourself amused.

Apart from outdoor activities, this shows that

food & beverages were also important!!

The photo's below are some that I took with the
Lensbaby but must point out that they are not a
Photo Essay, just some of my favourites.
