Lupin 1- Weathering the Storm. This is a story about duality, ying/yang, balance and perspective. When I captured this Lupin with the storm rolling in, it made me think how this one beautiful flower could be so fragile yet robust enough to survive the often harsh elements of nature that Lake Tekapo NZ, contends with. After capturing Lupin 1 I turned my focus in the other direction and saw the duality of nature, captured in my next image, Lupin 2- Basking in the Sunshine.

Another Time.
I visited Lake Tekapo with my husband and two boys aged nine and six. When we stopped at the church of Good Shepherd we all had a sense of being transported back to a different time and felt relaxed and happy wandering the church surrounds. This picture captures the feeling that we all shared. It was interesting to hear, when I asked my sons individually, how they felt about being there and their shared sense that they had stepped back in time.

Lupin 2-Basking in the Sunshine.

In stark contrast to Lupin 1, the same Lupin was brillantly lit by the sunshine when I moved position. The balance of nature is amazingly apparent when these two photos are viewed.
Lesson lernt; When life seems all doom and gloom, change your perspective.
