A mixed week of different environments

Looking at the choices of photos to post here today it seems I've been about a bit including a trip to Southland that was work and friend related, yet I seem to have made what I've made while walking and not driving.

With less rainfall of late and more precipitation falling as snow the lake is dropping after the highs of a few weeks back...


Last week's south east storm sure drifted things in at the Snow Farm cross country skiing area...




Diamond Lake track is always worth a wander on a dull winter's day. No sign of ice though for skating...


A few of you are aware I've been kitting myself out with a new camera. The top most shot was made with it, and I'm really pleased with how it's shaping up. I always go for compacts figuring that the best camera is always the one I have with me. I'm pleased to say that now the output quality of such cameras has come of age. Learning to drive it fully though, will engage me for sometime!
