Ok, ok. I know, enough of my posts. But if I don’t document it here, I may forget when/where I was and what I have done. I won’t bore you with too much of a recap but allow your mind to rest and “ooh and aah” over these pictures I took at the active geothermal area in New Zealand’s Taupo Volcanic Zone (27 kilometers south of Rotorua). And yes, I just summarized the first paragraph from Wikipedia. Thank you internet.
Lady Knox Geyser – unlike the geysers from yesterday that went off “unaided” by man, this geyser blew after a park ranger added an environmentally-friendly soap.
I lied, I have to provide commentary. I like the sound of my own writing. I don’t know who this lady is but I liked her bright pants against the grayish mud water.
I think that last photo is called “Artist’s Palette” which made me think of my mom back home. Hi Mom!
Some more around the Wonderland.

And finally, my favorite picture from today. I love the angle, the colors, the mist, everything about this little gem:
Tomorrow it’s back to big city adventures in Auckland! Not sure what I’ll be doing but I’m sure you’ll be the first to know.
There She Goes... 
Loved these photos!
