Menlo Park photographer explores New Zealand with the camera

Photographs and story by Frances Freyberg Blackburn

The quiet waters of Doubtful Sound in Fiordland National Park.

Sheep outnumber people in New Zealand by more than seven to one.

I’ve traveled to and written about more than 40 coun-tries, and none has been so

difficult for me to capture in words as New Zealand. Five hundred words are not enough to explain why I love the country so deeply and will always long to return. They’re also not enough to highlight the beauty, charm and excitement that enchant visitors. This is a story better told with pictures.

My love for New Zealand stretches back to childhood, when my family would visit my grandparents over Christmas break. My happy memories are not just of the simple joys of childhood, but also of a simpler time and place, where milk was delivered in bottles, and clean laundry hung from clotheslines in every yard. Today most people buy their milk in stores, but that

THANK YOU! Fitness 101

Members, Patty Clark, the late Harmon Burns & family.

24 years ago I chose the profession as a Strength & Conditioning Coach. 2 years later Patty Clark at Fitness 101 hired me and I planted my professional roots. She provided me the opportunity to spread my wings and become part of the Fitness 101 family members and staff. Thank you Patty, Harmon Burns and Family.

Sadly, … Fitness 101 has closed their doors to build an office building. All of us associated have gone our separate ways to find our new place of fitness and social atmosphere we all naturally crave.

To all of you loyal members, I’m deeply sorry for this ending. But I’m sure you will find this change in your lives to be a refreshing new beginning.

I thank you for your trust, wonderful memories and healthy years we had together. I was blessed and will deeply miss all of you.

I want all of you to remember that it was you, “The Members” that made fitness 101 a family, not the building you gathered in. Make sure you do the same wherever you go!

I will never forget and always cherish my last 22 years with all of you.

Who Loves Ya, Todd Leanues, AKA “T”


comforting, small-town feeling remains part of New Zealand’s charm. Each time I return to New Zealand, I’m struck by the vari-ety of beautiful scenery: from golden sand beaches to snow-capped mountains; smoking volcanoes to crystal-clear fjords. It’s one of the two places in the world where glaciers meet rain-forest. The scenery seems to call to Californians in particular, who already enjoy a mountain-to-sea landscape but may long for the lush, green grass that we rarely see in our state. New Zealand’s population is quite small (about 4.4 million: three-fifths the population of the San Francisco Bay Area) and con-centrated (nearly one-third live in and around Auckland). As a result, it can be common to have entire beaches, lakes or moun-tains all to oneself, especially on the South Island or in the far north of the North Island. This blissful solitude may also be most appreciated by Bay Area natives, who are used to sharing nature with a crowd. With such a diverse landscape, it’s not surprising that outdoor pursuits are popular with locals and visitors alike. Nearly 30 per-cent of New Zealand is protected park land, and hikers enjoy the well-marked trails and back-country hut system. There are also plenty of places

to boat, kayak, sail or fish, whether on the ocean or on the country’s many lakes. New Zea-land has nearly 10,000 miles of coastline, and no place is more than 80 miles from the ocean.

Closer than you think Many people don’t realize how easy it is to get to New Zea-land. Direct flights between San Francisco and Auckland take 12-13 hours — comparable to the flight time to many parts of Europe — and the time differ-ence is only 3-5 hours, depend-ing on daylight savings time. Because New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere, you can swim at Christmas and ski in August. The generally mild weather can change rapidly, even in summer, so come prepared with rain gear and a sense of adventure. It doesn’t take long for visitors to see why the Maori (New Zealand’s first Polynesian settlers) dubbed the country “Aotearoa,” or land of the “long white cloud.”

MORE INFORMATIONMore of Frances’ New Zealand photos can be seen in her book, “Aotearoa: A Photographic Jour-ney of New Zealand,” available online (link below), and at the Silicon Valley Open Studios, tak-ing place May 19-20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 856 Partridge Ave. in Menlo Park.
