Below are a few iphone images of New Zealand's South Island. The spring creeks we have found are pretty remarkable. 

The first thing I heard when I walked out of the Auckland airport was cicadas. Lots of them. Their sound has been buzzing up and down the South Island's west coast.  

A dreamy spring creek on the west coast.
