You expect wet weather in NZ but we got 3 weeks straight! This culminated in almost 5 days waiting for dry weather so we could do the Tongariro crossing. But a series of lows pressure systems each with several fronts each arcing across all of NZ meant it was wet, cold and damn windy! (it was mostly the 120kph winds at 1900m that prevented us from crossing) This is a panorama taken as we flew out of Hamilton at sunrise.

Not sure what to expected from the bulls in Round 5ā¦ Announcer Brandon Bates said it bestā¦ āTonight is about heart. Tonight is about guts. It's about hanging it all out there.ā
In the first flight, three of seven bulls are contenders for the title of PBR World Champion Bull. By the time the night was over, only thirteen riders covered their bulls. The rank pen of bulls had come to the PBR tonight, and you knew the action was going to be fast, dangerous, and very unpredictable.
Kody Lostroh from Longmont, CO rode Troubadour for 92.15 points to claim victory in round five. This is Kodyās second round win at the PBR World Finals this year, and Kodyās third match up with Troubadour.
This was another great night at the PBR World Finals; a lot of action, danger, and awesome rides. Me as I bring you the rides and unforgettable moments from Round 5 at the PBR World Finals in Las Vegas.
After reading all the hype about the Paleo diet, a lifestyle change based on the dietary habits of our cave-dwelling ancestors, I decided to embark on my own two-week Paleo project. Once I got into a routine, it was great, but I was not prepared for what the first few days had in store....
My favorite photograph from this shoot. Mom and Dad were telling little Brooke how much they loved her and how excited they were that she was going to have a baby sister soon... Brooke stood still for just a second and then she was off and running which you'll see in the next photo ! :-)

I totally did not expect to be stopping by Gabe and Stephanie's this year, given all that's been going on in their lives, but Gabe called while we were at Danielle's because he saw on Twitter that we were there, and spontaneously invited us to stop by. So, that's where we went next -- where they gave us a box of Toblerone chocolates and homemade Prunella vodka Stephanie made from a neighbor's prune tree!
I have to tell you I really had no idea how unbelievably delicious those chocolates would be. I mean, you get chocolates all the time at the holidays. But most of them are not like these, which are like high-end Nestle Crunch bites -- or rather, I suppose, what Nestle Crunch would taste like if they were really worth anything. We took them to share in Olympia and by the end of Christmas Day the box was probably 4/5 eaten. Those things were a big hit all around.
Shobhit liked the vodka better than I did. I suspect it must be the prune flavor; I think perhaps I'm not all that fond of prunes. I love the bottle, though, and I love that Dante helped decorate it with all the painted thumb prints. How adorable is that?
Never expected to start and end my 2011 with shots of a Bald Eagle along the Gunpowder river, but here you have it.
I tried everything I could think of to get it to fly during my visit, but it wasn't budging from that spot.
