This is Shahaar’s 2nd travel photography post. He did his first one about a month ago starting with his 2015 travels in Thailand and making his way to New Zealand. Here he shows us a glimpse of his world – local and distant travels as our family continues to visit the ever so many wonderful stunning place in North Island, New Zealand. We are saving South Island for when we return from Thailand and UK this summer, most likely sometime in October. All pictures taken by him and all the captions are his as well. I am still pushing for more content to go with the pictures. Will get there eventually 🙂
Onwards to some of his local travels around Auckland – to the War Memorial Auckland Museum – a fantastic museum full of natural history, Maori culture and World War 1 and 2 sections. See my post on why this was such a great place for adults and children alike. Other visit include Mount Eden, Kelly Tarlton’s Aquarium (which was our least favourite) and local Sunday market. A taste of what you can see and do around Auckland!
This is from our recent trip to the Northland region where we spent 5 fantastic days exploring the Tutukaka Coast. See my post why this place is one of our favourites so far in New Zealand! Between days spent at white sand and turquoise water paradise beaches, we made a trip to Whangerei Falls. Lovely circular walk to the falls and back to the park.

His sister was his willing model for his last photography post and he took some lovely shots of her in that series of photographs. Here he has two new willing victims – his cousins visiting from USA. I think he captures their cuteness well, don’t you? 🙂

He’s got a great eye. I love the one with the fishing rods.
There is a great photographer on the way!
Thank you 🙂 I will show him this message!
I love the way you encourage your children. They learn from seeing, our little one finds our cameras very interesting but it will take a while until he takes “real” pictures. He is only 18 months old 🙁
Thanks, children do learn from seeing and experiencing..I loved your Costa Rica travel pictures, so much wildlife! I am sure your 18 month old had a blast 🙂
These pictures are stunning! He has done an incredible job. Well done!!
What fantastic photos. He’s definitely got a good eye!
Love this! My son actually took his camera out today and I realized that he will probably be super into photos like I am since he sees me with my camera every day! I see something like this in my future – he’s only 4.5 now 🙂
Wow! These photos are amazing! A great photographer in the making!
You’ve certainly got a budding travel photographer! Excellent shots!
As our little ones are travelers, and contributors to our site as well, I really enjoyed this post. SO great to see kids out and enjoying our beautiful world! Some great shots here – I look forward to seeing more!
Amazing pics. Cute kids too!
Always good to get the kids’ point of view as well. How nice to share the family traveling this way!
Thank you 🙂 We do enjoy sharing how they are viewing our family travels as well!
Lovely post and photos!
Fantastic photos. I am glad you are enjoying New Zealand. Let me know if you head out toward Shakespear Park. My daughter does posts on my blog as well.
I am always looking through your blog Rhonda, you have so much insider expat knowledge of what to do in NZ 🙂 I will be sure to check out your daughter’s posts! Do you live near Shakespear Park? WIll have to look it up now. If you are ever around St Heliers or central Auckland, give me a shout, I have yet to meet a fellow blogger on real life 😀
It looks like you are settled in and are exploring your new home. A couple of fantastic shots of the falls.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
When my daughter was younger we got her a camera for holidays and it was one of the best things we did. It engaged her much more in our trip and I found looking at it from her perspective really interesting. Of course now she’s a teenager it’s all selfies so make sure you treasure these photos!
My guys are starting to want to be behind the camera more too! I love how they make us look at new angles and find a new perspective on travels and life:) What a fabulous photo essay!
Wonderful images from your trip. I love the waterfall! Have a happy day!
Very good pictures! I think we have a new travel blogger on the horizon.
So good to see the world through the eyes of a child – they have a great view! Love the photos he is taking – maybe he will be a travel photographer when he grows up 🙂
Lovely photos, it looks like he caught the travelling bug early!
