Canon 7D, 18-55mm Lens

Mid December when the Lupins are out, make Lake Hawea a stuning place.  All along the beach are these flowers. A small fresh snowfall the night before was gradually disappearing. The lake was an amazing colour.

Canon 7D, 18-44mm Lens

Lake Hawea at sunset.  We had had a bit of snow the night before. So it was crisp clear and cold and fresh snow on the top of the ridges. I broke my ankle five minutes before I took this image.  I still managed to walk over, (limp over), and take this photo despite the pain.  Even I am amazed at my resilience!

Canon 7D, 100mm Lens

I used the 100mm macro lens for these shots with the dog as it was getting dark and I wanted to be sure I had good quality.  This was taken at Lake Hawea on a really calm day so the water was crystal clear and you could see the stones easily on the bottom of the lake, even though it was quite deep.  The dog was bossy, always wanting a stick thrown in for him to chase it. I ended up taking a lot of action shots of the dog for about an hour.  Lots of fun!
