Ruru Says... Slow Down

A very timely reminder as it is winter here in NZ at the moment!

Ruru Says....

Passing through the Bay of Plenty we spotted a series of signs that we just had to stop and photograph

We found the signs below explaining who this wise owl is and what he does:

I thought it might be fun to reveal a new sign each day over the coming 10 or so days rather than post all the photographs at once.  (Please don't get me wrong, each of the signs has a very important message for drivers - I just thought they were so well executed that I just had to share them with the world!) Look out for future posts entitled "Ruru Says..."

A weekend escape

That's right, we escaped the HB this weekend just been and enjoyed a trip up north where I indulged my fondness for photography as well my passion for soaking in hot pools!

Murals in Napier (Pt 2)

 

Four more murals that have caught my interest when I've been out roaming with my camera (when will my family learn not to let me out unsupervised? lol).

Vibrant Murals in Napier (Pt 1)

As I have been wandering around Napier with camera in hand I have found some fantastic murals which beg to be photographed, above are a few from the "Uniting the Community" mural.

Late Night Photography Visit to Napier (Pt 1)

The night before last I mentioned to my husband that I would like to try taking photos of the fountain in Napier when it was lit up, he didn't seem adverse to the idea so we waited for the sun to make it's slow descent and paid a visit to the Sound Shell as well as the fountain, above are a few of them photos (will post more in another post).  The moon was full and with the ISO at 400 I was able to capture some lovely shots.
