Koutu boulders
The boulders at Koutu Beach in Opononi are different and very interesting to see up close.
The boulders on the beach have been released from their soft host rock by erosion and simply rolled down and accumulated on the beach. Many people ask why are they spherical. The most likely explanation is that a small core rolled around on the sediment on the ocean floor and grew bigger much like a snowball does.

waxeye
I saw a flitter through the window and realized it was a cute little waxeye bird!
They are really fast and don't stay put at all, so it took a lot of clicks to get a
few that look decent.

travel scenes
It's winter with lots of rain so we enjoyed some awesome waterfalls on our
backroads drive.
There were lots of little sheepies to see.
Some had escaped the paddock.
We giggled when we saw these lambs with black heads.
But then we saw the reason for their markings!

I'm always amazed at the great things I find growing along the beach.

mt taranaki and pouakai ranges
Most photos that you find of Taranaki include Mt Taranaki/Mt Egmont.
But I think the Pouakai Ranges that are connected to it to the north are just as beautiful.

It's beginning to look like spring
Even though the weather is rainy and chilly, I've noticed lovely pops of
color in the garden! I am convinced that flowers are better predictors of
the weather than we can ever be.

I found this shot in my archives but have no idea where I took it or what it is.
Thank you, Ali, for the name of this beauty, it's called Five Fingers, pseudopanax arboreus.

forgotten buildings
There are so many abandoned sheds and houses and
barns and churches on the NZ backroads.
