Water falls and purple sunsets

First I want to say thanks to those of you who responded to my last blog about Happy Cat Sanctuary by donating to help the cats.  I am incredibly grateful and so is the sanctuary director, Chris.  Every dollar helps - if anyone else would like to donate, please feel free at http://www.HappyCatSanctuary.org.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you.  All donations are tax-deductible!

Matt and I have been taking advantage of the dry weather and we were able to get up to Te Arai Point and Piroa Falls, which is about 2 hours north of Auckland.  Both were amazing.  Here is a video of our trip (sorry for the shaky camera at some points).

Of course I had my Nikon so I was able to get some amazing shots.  Really NZ seems to have so many purple sunsets...it's crazy!
