Precious Moments

Amazingly, Erik and I had a few hours to ourselves, and no urchins!  The weather suited a road trip, so we packed a picnic, and explored the region.

 Lunch at Lake Okaro, not far from Waimangu.  A tiny lake, there is a walkway all the way around. 

We visited Lake Rerewhakaaitu, and Mt Tarawera looked different from this angle.  Impressive are the boulders in the paddocks from the eruption. 

 

I don't know the plant's name, but it was a glorious colour against the greys around Lake Rerewhakaaitu.
