I seem to have spent a great deal of time on beaches over the last few weeks. I love beaches. I love beach walks with friends even more. There have been a lot of those. I've already posted some of the experiences on the Mahia Peninsula and the surrounding area and last weekend I was in Northland near Whangarei and explored some other beaches.
But first a revisit:

| Looking South from the same spot. It looks rough but this was quite a calm day. |

| I was puzzl;ed by this Black-backed Gull on Mahanga Beach. He always seemed to be there at the same spot every time I went there. |

You have excelled yourself with this set. Beaches and parties are a forte of yours.
ReplyDeleteLove the Hermit Crab.
Does the Gull move? It may be a stuffed one.
I do miss Northland beaches.... many happy hours at Whangarei heads, Ruakaka.... Matapouri, Tutakaka.

There are nice ones down here - its just the wind drives me mad lol
Wow! Wow! Wow! I feel refreshed just looking at these!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place!
How envious I feel sometimes at all the beauty of the beaches you've experienced and photographed. Shame, shame on me. I am happy that you share them! There that's better.
ReplyDeleteAdrian's comment made me chuckle! :D
I'd love a walk along the beach, but as for going in I'd probably have the same look as that second dog - those waves in some of the pictures look really powerful... Wonderful photos, Graham!
ReplyDeleteBriagha would say - "Huh! - You have got to be joking. You threw the ball in that lot, so if you want it back, then you go get it!"
ReplyDeleteHaving been very poorly of late, I don't think she would have even paddled on the edge. Thankfully, she is now getting back to her old self again.
Oh dear, sweet, land...how I long for such a place!! Absolutely gorgeous photos, Graham :)
