Would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar…..
oh Frank I love you serenading me on this beautiful star lit night.
We have been blessed with some stunning winter days of late – clear sunny skies meaning fabulous star lit skies come evening.
Making the most of the perfect conditions we took a drive south of Hokitika to the beautiful Lake Mahinapua to check out the skies.
With snow-capped mountains and surrounded by native bush, Lake Mahinapua was an ideal place to just relax and make the most of night sky.
Playing the perfect model (as always I might add!) there was one final photo shoot before it was time to head home for the evening. Thanks Lake Mahinapua – it was a pleasure swinging on your stars and now I’m taking moonbeams home in a jar – rather that than be a mule……. See you again soon.
Jan and Stephen run Breakers Boutique Accommodation on the Great Coast Road north of Greymouth. They enjoy getting out and about and making the most of this beautiful region they are lucky enough to call home.

Ha, ha! I’m glad you were able to catch yourself some moonbeams. That song was a favorite when I was a kid eons ago. Those skies are breathtaking. Stephen is very good at capturing starlight.

It’s going way back in time, but I think that used to be a theme song for Perry Como. 🙂

Unfortunately not. Couple of days before it and at the weekend we too had cloudy skies. Typical when there is something special out there eh!
