The clear skies demanded it.

I said “Okay. Fine”

Insert clever caption about staring into an infinite cosmos and humankind’s impermanence on a pale blue dot floating in nothingness or something.

The Kakaruwai aka South Island Robin. This cheeky wee bird photographed at Orokonui Ecosanctuary here in Dunedin (New Zealand). The bands indicate it was part of a research project a few years back.

Hoiho!! Aka the Yelloweyed penguin. With <500 of these guys on mainland New Zealand it’s always a privilege to see one, let alone two!

The Otago Rally on 35mm.

Ngirungiru.

The South Island Tomtit of New Zealand (Male pictured)

The Pīwakawaka or NZ Fantail.

Tricky birds to photograph as the lil buggers do not sit still! Managed to catch this one in a lil late afternoon light.

If you are in New Zealand I run a monthly print club where images like this get printed and sent out to my subscribers in 4x6, 5x7 or even 8x10”! If this sounds like a bit of you I’d greatly appreciate it if you checked out The Print Club over on Patreon.

Or if you would like to support without prints (or are outside of NZ), you can get access to the blog for a mere $2.50 (NZD)
