Wowsers! What a milestone! Statistics say only 50% of marriages survive, so I think that marriage’s that weather the storms of life and make it this many years are pretty awesome, and definitely worth honoring. Part of the way I wanted to do that was through pictures. Congratulations Gran & Papa 🙂
We drove up to the radio tower on the mountain behind us for a picnic dinner, with both sets of our parent’s.
The skies were ominous with both the smokey skies from wild fires, and a threatening thunderstorm
We got all packed up from our dinner, did some wandering and just as we were loading up to go, there was the first crack of thunder and almost immediately the downpour began. The storm hammered about us, and as we came around the end of the range it stopped and the sun came out. It looked amazing!
We drove a little further and rounded a corner, and I yelled out to stop the van…..It had been so hot that the road was steaming from the rain, and the light was coming through the trees…..gorgeousness that I need someone to run down the road for me so I could take a picture 🙂
I was playing around with dramatic light photography, as Kent was putting the duvet on top of them and then whipping it off.
Kyle! Show these Canucks how it’s done. I was commenting to Kyle that Canadian’s don’t know how to do bombs. We decided it was NZ’s island culture that fosters this skill 🙂
I have to pinch myself every now again to remind myself that we live here in this gorgeous place. Just amazing. And I love when we get to share it with others, particularly friends and family from NZ. We are trying to give our good friends, Kyle and Bevan a 2 day taste of our life here. We are doing as much swimming as possible coz it’s crazy hot. And well, swimming is just good.
Back home, and mobbed
Our magical room with a view. Oh starry starry night.
We don’t get sunsets, living in a valley, surrounded by mountains. So it always feels like a bit of a treat when we are away to get a gorgeous display like this. Happy Canada Day 🙂
