Although I’m away, I’ve scheduled posts every day. There’s a Thursday Thirteen, a Snippet Saturday and I thought I’d give you a tour of some of the places I’ve visited in New Zealand. Since my next Middlemarch Mates book is due out very soon, the first photo is of Sutton Salt Lake, which is not far from Middlemarch.
Sutton Salt Lake is an inland lake and is unusual because, as the name suggests, it’s a salty rather than fresh water lake. During the summer the water evaporates and you can see the salt on the surface. This photo was taken in late November and it was almost completely dry, despite it not being the height of our New Zealand summer. (that’s around late Jan, early Feb).
Don’t forget to enter my contest. Go here for details.

That’s quite beautiful, Shelley! Thanks for sharing that–the whole salty thing is interesting, too! Hope you’re having a great time!

Happy T13!
It’s nice to see a photo of a location from a story. Intriguing place, Shelley.
