Giants

I am back in Auckland after a weekend trip to the Coromandel Peninsula. Even though a storm hounded us for all of Saturday, it was worth the drive. We got to see a part of New Zealand that seemed to be a pure and very lush tropical paradise. The beaches and harbors we saw were also amazing. On our way back, we stopped by a Kauri grove, the Kauri is the largest tree in New Zealand. It is unusual to see these trees anymore because they were logged almost to extinction. I hope you can get a little sense of how big these trees actually are from this photograph.

A Path

I took this photograph while on Block Break from CC. My parents were out in Colorado Springs for a week, part of which fell over my break. We took a road trip to see the leaves change. This was taken on a hike to Maroon Bells.
