bushfire!

...last night I went to Orion to pick up Elise from work and the closer I got to Springfield the smoke was becoming more thick and choking.   After picking her up, we drove around the area just to survey the smoke, the haze and the few small blazes that were burning in the distance.


Man, that fire erupted quickly out of nowhere....what an amazing sight and so incredible to hear the sound of fire surging through the bush....

The Naran's New Zealand Adventure....with family!

Well I guess you could call this Part 3 of our New Zealand holiday....

not so much about skiing as the previous post!

  The weather was decidedly milder than we expected

 and with little rain, the days were absolutely delightful.
