Default My 500th Post

Wow, just realised I have had over 500 posts. Its hard to believe that I have reached that milestone!

Thank you to everyone who has given me guidance with my photos and for allowing me to have my 2 cents worth with theirs. Great site, glad I stumbled across it! Everyone here has made me feel truely welcome and everyone has given me lots of encouragement and creative ideas. THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Took a trip around the Coromandel Peninsula on Thursday 26th Nov to empty out our donation boxes for work (I work for local rescue helicopter charity). As it was a one day trip from Auckland, I had to stop a few times to stretch the legs....

Here are a few pics from my road trip. Hope you all enjoy.

Beautiful shots, Michelle! An awesome way to commemorate your Seniority!! I've always enjoyed your shots from NZ, and I think you're single handedly responsible for putting NZ on the top of my "To See" list! Congrats on 500!! Can't wait to see more!!

Thanks Jim. I am not going anywhere for Christmas this year (family are coming to me for a change!) so we have a few day trips planned, so should be able to post you a few more pics from about the place! Give us a yell if you come to NZ! The door is open.

Oh, Michelle, I sure wish I could go for a walk on that beautiful beach! So peaceful! Congratulations on your 500+ posts; all of these photos that you've chosen to celebrate with are wonderful. I wish you many more beautiful moments to photograph (and to share with us!)

Thank you Sheriliz. The beach was lovely. Thank goodness I had shoes on as the sand was rather warm...
