Today we leave South Canterbury and make our way to Wanaka, where a few stores are must-stops for Katelyn and Becca (namely, a book store). No photos of the journey down, so we pick up in Wanaka proper.

Wanaka

The lake shore, just in front of our park for the day. You may think: ‘Wanaka’ + ‘Tree’ = ‘Wanaka Tree’ but no! That tree comes later.
Since today was mostly inside, it seems like a good opportunity for some macro shots of various trinkets. Most of these didn’t turn out, but enjoy those that did.

Cherry blossoms were in full bloom! I had to stop and get the tree.

Sometimes the commentary just frames itself.

Damn kids, always on the cellular phone! Missing the very nature about them!

That Wanaka Tree

Okay, fine. I will photograph the tree. Only to say that I have.
