Lupins, Lupins and more Lupins...

As promised, some photos of the Lupins. They come in a very wide range of flowers and grow pretty much everywhere.

Some pink and purple lupins....


And some yellow lupins....

And lots of different coloured lupins!

These were all taken on Peninsula Road, about 3 minutes drive from home. Apparently the lupins down at the Arrow River are even prettier, but we haven't quite managed to get that far yet.

We had a very quiet weekend, didn't get up to much. After Friday night's wakeboarding we took it easy on Saturday, cutting, carrying, splitting and stacking 3 cubic metres of firewood. We are now completely finished with the firewood for winter next year. Sunday we got up early again and headed out wakeboarding with Ross and Deborah from across the road. It was the flattest we have ever seen Lake Wakatipu - awesome as it was Deborah's first time (and she got up on her 3rd attempt!). After we got home and unpacked the boat we headed back out to do some spinning (fishing from shore with little plastic lures). Supposedly we were heading out for "an hour or two". We returned home 4.5 hours later, with a rainbow trout we cooked up for dinner. It is now 7pm and we are both ready for bed! It's a hard life...
