As Mariellen pointed out in a comment on my last post, I have managed to wean myself somewhat from my computer. I have been a bit busy with my camera with 8622 photos at present and we still have a week to go in New Zealand.
I sit down to write a post and while trying to decide which images to include I get lost in my photographs and you get nothing. That combined with difficulty in getting a connection at times makes it seem like I don’t care about you. Of course you know that’s not true and I will be back soon. I have so much to tell you.
Gifts Of The Journey 
Just beautiful! I envy your adventures, and thank you for sharing them!

Hi Elizabeth! Let your eyes feast, and give us the pictures later. That’s what I’m thinking. Athough the pic above is truly gorgeous.
