August Queenstown bike ride.
Last month I got a new toy so I dragged the wife kicking and screaming , actually screaming with delight and kicking my butt to get a move on , off to Queenstown for a few days too try it out. It was a little frosty but fine and the sun was low and in the eyes but the pain was worth it with a few of the pics I took . I know people go on about how expensive Queenstown is but the air is free which matches the views with 3 days of free riding some of the trails. Come on summer so I can have a go at those Central Otago ones.
As usual , Clicking on a picture enlarges it in a new window for a better view. The last ones were Lake Hayes and notice after someone ( hint : last pic ) kicked my butt it need a pillow too handle the 30 - 40 kms a day

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
