meeting new friends

It was quite windy over the weekend, so shooting flowers was out of the question. We did, however, make some new friends as we wandered through some back roads and stopped at Victoria Park in Stratford. The lone goose in the first shot is a resident on the pond in the park. I blogged about him/her years ago, here. We assume it's a 'he' since his friend seems to have had some babies.


The calves and sows were quite eager to get to the fence to check us out when we stopped.

opunake beach

One of our favorite places for photos and some exercise is at Opunake Beach. These shots were taken from the clifftop walkway where we watched the semicircle of waves break on shore. The bottom shots are the mingling of the river into the ocean causing interesting ripples in the water.

rocks and fossils at Waihi Beach in Taranaki



Above are two close-up shots of the top layers in the photo below.

Water has dislodged portions of the hillside and they have fallen down to the coast.

The water has brought with it lovely fossils and interesting rocks.
