Sitting all afternoon in the Puketi Forest working on this painting was delightful, very few visitors disturbed the tranquility and birdsong. I met the (retired) regional manager of the Department for Conservation who had initiated the walkway through the forest 20 years ago so was able to thank him personally for his efforts! Driving back down gravel roads from the Puketi Forest was interesting in the little hire car that I have dubbed 'the shopping trolley', built for the supermarket run!
My last day in Northland today, so I had a fish supper on Matauri Beach watching the surf rolling in, then joined my friends from the boat trip for a beer as the sun went down. I'll be flying down to Auckland tomorrow to join a pal on Waiheke Island for a week.

How wonderful of you, Sandra. I can't believe if I will see a number of pictures from you in NewZealand. I like every picture as you did.
Cheers,

Thank you Boontip, I am looking forward to our week together in Thailand on my way home.
Wow - you are having a good time. I just love tropical rain forests - the vegetation is so lovely and dense.

Hi Erica, these subtropical forests are my absolute favourite places. I'll be returning to them at the weekend when I go over to the Coromandel Peninsula. I'm on Waiheke Island at the moment, just back from kayaking over to deserted Pie Melon across a glassy sea in the hot sunshine.
