WINTER SUNRISE

welcoming
a brand new day
morning glory

THE LONG WALK

So lovely to spend time with family.  I was impressed with the way they always managed to walk the dogs, even when their days at work had been long and arduous – although I’m not sure if I enjoyed that first sprint down the hill and up the bank in the dark… And the views were amazing. Far too many to post quickly.

In the beautiful Bay of Plenty

EVENING

Bay of Plenty Sunset…

ROOM WITH A VIEW…

Our daughter and her partner are building on a hill section that overlooks the Bay of Plenty, and the views are going to be fantastic.  Quite a bit of work still to be done.

THE BAKE-OFF…

My daughter and two of my granddaughters at the bake-off.  Just proving that someone in my family can actually cook…

ON THE ROAD

SUMMER DREAMING

seeds drifting
the summer wind
of my dreams

 

HORIZONS

blue on blue
gathering my day
from the sand

COASTAL TREASURE

from the bay
to the distant hills
wetlands

I love these lonely stretches near Whakatane…

RIPPLES

low tide mud
gulls reflect on the day
that has gone

(I was fascinated by the way these ripples spread across water and mud)
