Tasman Valley Road, on the way to Tasman Lake. Mount Cook National Park/Aoraki. Malte Brun Range in the distance.
Two blossoms yesterday and two at a time this morning. They only bloom over night and barely last the day. All new branches a few months ago, and now lots of flowers. I am blessed and highly favored indeed!

the memorable place where I've experienced snowfall for the first time ever in my entire life. Freezing gloomy morning, no sign of colourful stunning sunrise as what we are expecting yet running out of time to stay longer for sunset due to long drive planned ahead to Te Anau (420 km).

My eldest son neither lacks ambition nor optimism when it comes to fishing. He has gone mad on the sport, crazed by the idea of catching a monster fish. Some of his lures are over 12" / 30 cm long. He isn't fishing for tiddlers. I thought they made an interesting image although I got those sharp barbs in my fingers several times.
Sunset, as a glow lighting Mt Cook through swirling cloud to the brings warmth to the ice blue of the terminal lake at the base of the great Hooker Glacier.
The Hooker River is a river in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It flows south from Hooker Lake, the glacier lake of Hooker Glacier, which lies on the southern slopes of Aoraki/Mount Cook.
After 3 kilometers, it flows through Mueller Glacier Lake, gathering more glacial water, before joining the braided streams of the Tasman River, also an outflow of a glacier lake

GHA was a big story in 2016 and now their former vehicles are flung far & wide. S644KJU is another VO in the connexions fleet, almost looks too smart to be painted !
While tying me up I kicked out at him, came really close to hitting him where it counts too! He gripped me by the throat and growled at me, "Don't ever do that again!" then tied my feet so I *couldn't* try kicking him again. When he was done tying me up I could barely budge!

Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
I don't know why this song was prevalent on my mind today... I spent the day traipsing through a landscape that's anything but "Green Acres". I'm still in the mountains, preparing for Gorges State Park tomorrow. I'll catch up with everyone next week... I'm expecting excellent autumn pictures from everyone, except from those in the Southern Hemisphere, though you're not off the hook... it's spring for you. I hope you're getting some shots to be proud of. I didn't hit everywhere I tried for today, but I'm impressed with what I did get... the colors were wonderful!
Most folks I saw here today shot this nearly face on... I tucked myself in the woods a little ways for some help in this one. I thought the red leaves of this white oak in the foreground rounded out this shot of Hooker Falls in DuPont State Park near Brevard, North Carolina. It's a tad longer exposure than I would have liked, but you get the picture.
