The morning after the wild weather, as if by design, the skies cleared and the wind was non-existent.
We spent the morning exploring the local area including Mt John that has the observatory overlooking Lake Tekapo.
This chaffinch is one of the many resident birds around our home away from home.
The long daylight hours allowed us the opportunity to put Harry to bed for the night with a grandparent on duty & head out to watch the sun go down. By the end of the day the clouds were completely gone. The full moon was a mixed blessing. Great in sunset shots, but completely killed any chance of star gazing that Tekapo is famous for.
