Last of the Cooks

I can't let June go without at least one post. Hopefully I'll get round to posting all my new stuff again in July, but for now I'd like to show you another couple of photos from the few days my wife and I spent on the Cook Islands.

The first photo below is my favourite, and epitomises the relaxing time we had between a 24 flight from the UK and starting our tour of New Zealand. The second photo is a view from the small villa we were staying in and shows just how close we were to the sea - I can certainly recommend Crown Beach Resort as a honeymoon location.

Tropical Flora

Here's another couple of shots taken in Raratonga on the Cook Islands. This time we have two lilies - both were in a small pond near the villa we were staying in at the resort. We would walk past them every time we went to a meal or to the pool and I couldn't resist not photographing them - especially, in the second case, after a short spot of rain.

Holiday Inspiration

Gah! I've been suffering a terrible lack of inspiration lately - I even sat down to write something last night, chose a nice photo that should have been easy, and spent a few minutes just staring at the empty Title field.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly. However I can't leave my Photo Blog again without posting something relevant, so here is a photo from one of my favourite holiday locations of recent years - Raratonga in the Cook Islands. More to come soon.
