Previews of Coming Attractions

Yep, I finally found a penguin - an adult yellow eyed molting near the beach on the Otago Penninsula. A special protected penguin area.

Early morning mist along the Haast River on the way to Queenstown.

Royal Northern Albatross - wing span 9 feet.

It's late and I am packing to return home. And "home" it is. The lesson learned from a trip like this is that all men and women share a deep bond of spirituality and hope - no matter whether you are English, Maori, Kiwi, American or any of the many many ethic and national heritages which I encountered. We all grieve for what we have lost and we celebrate the beauty of the world that surrounds us and are grateful for the love of our family and friends. A rainbow leads us onward and it was a joyful moment when it stretched out across the road from Manapouri towards my home. I am traveling home to my love and my life.
Here are a few images of the moments and encounters of the last three days. The story of each will fill pages. Sphere: Related Content

Ah...you found your penguin. What a great way to wind down. It seems as if you really got most what you wanted to get out of this trip.
