Walk ended up with two wet boys( what were the chances!?!) and a lot of inspiration for future painting expeditions.

A walk round lake Ngaroto
What a lovely walk! 7 km of trail around a peat lake on a beautifully morning, crisp but clear. The winter's weak sunlight held no heat but the sky was a fabulous clear blue. It was incredibly still. The pondweed( the scientific name!) ranging from vivid green to dull rust was pretty but smelly.

That looks so similar to a walk we take by the river here...particularly the second one. (you can see some photos of it at night here http://mousybrownshouse.typepad.com/poised-to-take-flight/2011/01/two-winter-walks-one-weekend.html - thought I had more photos but I can't find them, think it gives an idea though!)
