Blue Springs

We went on a day trip to Blue Springs, Putaruru, today. The water is amazingly clear and the river is set in lovely countryside. It looks like there's algae in the river but it's actually weed that can be seen because the water is clear.

Today is my 365th day doing 365 and I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout the year. Your comments, favs and advice have given me so much encouragement and without you all helping me I probably wouldn't have kept going, especially through the winter and when I've been busy with work and life and it's more difficult to take photos. I'd also like to thank @alinz who has been my photography buddy over the last year - it's been fun having someone to do the project with and bounce ideas off. And finally thanks to @alisonp who suggested I have a go at the 365 project in the first place.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to do much commenting but we've been busy taking our visitors around to see different places and getting home late.
beautiful landscape

The water that I biked alongside yesterday in the south, was just like that! Clear to a stony floor but with weed!! I would have like to paddle in it! Well done for your 365!
