autumn is a very pretty time of the year, and is not complete without a trip thru Central Otago where the landscapes are stunning most times of the year, but I have always thought of Central Otago autumn as rather extra special,
the leaves are turning and falling from the trees,
the landscape changes daily as the green disappears and the barren hillsides and mountains that this area is well known for, become so prominent, awaiting their first snowfall...
..the shores of Lake Wakitpu being no exception, you would never guess that behind this pikkie is a whole ton of tourists and holiday makers... it all looks so serene and peaceful..

| the old and the new sit well side by side, |
this is Queenstown's oldest building, it very likely started life as a working mans cottage, but is now home to a delightful interior design shop, it has the most delightful garden.. and great places to curl up with a coffee and a great book..
did I say book?? ....a browse through the bookstore found this gorgeous book...which I just had to have...
and to top it all off, a glass of vino at the end of a rather good shopping spree, yeh well I know it should be beer in an Irish pub, but I am just not that much of a beer drinker, ...and then pizza at my favourite pizzeria in Queenstown, The Cow.
Now, back home and quilting to do!
Have a fabulous week!

Your fall is so pretty, but I am still glad to be coming into spring after our long winter! The scenery there is gorgeous. Love Rachel Ashwell and all things shabby too! ~Lili
I want to go with you next time! That is so gorgeous!
Autumn gives us such a beautiful range of colours. Would love to play with a new palette of colours but too many UFO's. But I can dream can't I?
My goodness you make me want to pack my bags and head south.....so pretty, I love Autumn, the trees are starting to change to some glorious colours here in Northland.Love your boots.I have already worn my boots twice.
I have just spent Easter in Queenstown isnt it just beautiful
Autumn with all its changing colours and landscapes is worth the cold mornings and nights that come with the season. Love your photos
