Karaka Trail: Photo challenge

I saved posting my photo blog for the weekend, so I could take a picture on the walk Dave and I planned (in an effort to start training for our 5 day honeymoon hike on Stewart Island).  So, of course I forgot to take my camera!!!!  What a dope!

Fortunately, the flash new phone that Dave bought me for Christmas has a fairly decent camera, so here's a shot of the Karaka Stream after about 45 minutes of walking from our house:

21 Jan: "Karaka Bush" Behind our house lies a trail that eventually
leads to the Kauaeranga Valley (8 hours? away).  It's overgrown &
muddy, but close to home and a good escape without needing a car.
