Something completely different, I spent last weekend in Kaikoura on a workshop organised by the Photographic Society of New Zealand. A lovely group of photographers ably led by the talented Leanne Buchan Photography. We took a trip on a boat through Encounter Kaikoura to see the pelagic birds and dolphins off the coast and walked around the Kaikoura Peninsula in search of seals and shore birds. These are a few of my favourites.
