Family Reunion

Last weekend Lea and I flew down to Christchurch for a family reunion. It had been 3 years since we had all been together in the same place. It was a wonderful weekend although I had a bad head cold. Didn't stop me however having a really good catch up with my brothers and sisters and the patriarch of the family at a grand age of 82. It was special having Lea with me and she fitted in extremely well.

While in Christchurch Lea frantically took photos with her new camera. She is a perfectionist and possibly won't be completely happy with some of these photos I'm posting.

After a social time on Friday night Lea and I woke up earlyish and headed down the road to the Avon river. I am quickly finding out that this photography business requires a lot of patience especially when you are the support person.



Lea took quite a few nature photos which I think are lovely. Not sure what Lea thinks! Hope you like them!


 
 

 
 
 
 



The next collection are a few of the photos of our social 2 days together!

  1. Wow, your Dad looks great! What a good photo of you and Lea ... you look very happy together.

    Lovely flower shots - the foxglove is my favourite, I think. :)

  2. Oh, I love all these photos...all the family and the close up of the flowers.
    I agree with Sue above too, that is a great shot of your Dad!
    And the one of you and Lea together? You should have that on the side of your blog!
    Hey, you know I am bossy but I am always right! (Just ask Richard! HA!)
    It's so good to see you look so happy! xx

  5. Some great pictures there! I think Lea has nothing to be unhappy about with any of them.
    Hopefully, you did not spread the head cold to everyone else :-)

  6. Paul, I like ALL the photographs. Please tell Lea she did a good job with the camera. The floral ones are good and the family ones are excellent. You all look so happy, But you know, the one I like best is the one of you alone. Lea caught a great pensive look.
