Kiwi-land with a touch of Aussie

So here is my second installment of pics from my recent trip down under. Constantly surprised how quickly time passes, as it feels like ages ago that I was there. Almost time for another adventure.....

So after some R&R in the Abel Tasman National Park, I headed east to Christchurch. Christchurch is such a lovely place.....so green and pretty! It is filled with wandering parks along the Avon River. But what I loved the most was the really artisan feel this city has.

I am a huge fan of structure....so my camera could hear this building calling from miles away.

After Christchurch I headed over to Aussie-land! I had never been outside of the Sydney airport before so I was quite excited. Plus, I was able to spend time with a great friend of mine who lives there...so that is always a bonus. Unfortunately, was only there for a couple of days....but will definitely be going back. Sydney exceeded my expectations and I was really impressed with the city.

This final shop just made me shake my head....a woman's touch is always a good thing ;) but whether or not it has to be a "white" lady is a bit problematic!

......and I'm back!


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 ;)

the journely begins....


Welcome to my photoblog!


Following the exciting launch of my photography website (www.jenniferreynolds.ca) I have decided to include a photoblog that will document my latest photo-adventures, highlight links and articles that have made an impression on me, in addition to documenting random thoughts and experiences captured through my lens.


While this photo is not a new one, I found it most fitting for my journey ahead. I will be trying to post on a biweekly basis, if not weekly or more if work and school allow. However, for those who know me, they know I can have a tendency to procrastinate, so chances are this blog will be updated more frequently ;) Hope you enjoy.......
