I was wondering if we were ever going to see the 'one from lying on the grass' !! So this is it? Worth the wait..it is a lovely candid shot of the Beautiful People. What heavy packs they have! Gla I go by car nowadays! Just spotted the gull too, maybe he wants to come too on their beautiful trip. Great shot!

Hi Debbi,
You are from Christchurch? Really love this city and country. In 2006 I was there for 5 Month. It was an amazing time. Really miss the beautiful landscape and the southern alps in the background :-)

I like this! The easy flow of conversation in the warm sun. Travelers stopping to have a break and a chat. I really like the bird in the foreground :)

Love your title! They look a touch knackered and with all that stuff to lug around I'm not surprised! Great capture.
