A Kiwi Celebration

I am writing this from the airport as I am on my way home from NZ, where I have been for the last week celebrating my granddad's 80th birthday (my presence was a surprise to him, which he appreciated!). Anyway I thought I would show off a quick section of the trip;

My Nana has a ridiculous rose garden;



You may have seen this on my instagram (@dwishaw) but I liked it so much I had to include it here too!

These lads keeping the carpark safe!


Hukka falls. You have to see it to believe it, but it is a narrow chute in the rock that jets out 40 cubic meters a second of water, insanely loud!


My cousin (who is a top 500 ranked tennis player) gave the oldies a demo of how to play tennis at their tuesday night tennis club meet, he managed to break a couple of tennis rackets in the process. I love how I managed to snap this just as the ball is 'in' his strings.

 I couldn't have this post without a shot of the man himself! The NZ Kiwi industry has been devastated by PSA (a fungus that eats the vines) and I went to see an orchid with granddad and chat about that, while he picked off dead branches out of habit! (since he spent his life in the industry).

Drops

Well the constant rain may be getting me down by keeping me indoors at the moment I did manage to spy these cool water drops on this leaf today, experimenting with the crazy depth of field of my macro!
