Definitely have neglected my blog the past couple of months...side effect of trying to juggle work, school and other priorities.
I was recently able to recharge in New Zealand. While this was my second time to this fantastic country, it was my first time to the South Island and I fell in love with it. Anyone who enjoys being active and outdoors should try to make it to New Zealand. The first part of my trip was spent in the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park. Four fantastic days of sun, hiking, kayaking and the ocean. I developed a bit of kayaking addiction which was incredible, but not the most conducive to photography.
Some may already know, but I have a slight fear of heights. I try not to let it stop me from doing things, but this swinging bridge on the trail was not fun! It was about 100 meters across and it took everything in me to look straight ahead and just keep walking. The worst was when someone started walking on the bridge behind me. I was definitely happy to reach the other side. 
More updates later....and I promise it won't take 3 months to post the rest of my trip ;)
