1960's Triumph

Wow it's been a long time since I posted anything on here so will make a start tonight! Had the opportunity to take a few photos of 1960's BSA and Triumph bikes.. Got some great photos and like the look of these.. a bit different I guess.

Thames Little Railway

Was in Thames yesterday and went for a walk along the walkway at the back of the town centre next to the little railway line and waters edge.

Pukekos at the Matua Salt Marsh walkway



It seems that every time I walk along the Salt Mash walkway in Matua, the Pukekos are right there and sometimes follow behind me along the path!.... this time I brought my camera to get some photos, but today, they were feeding in the marsh.

Another fantastic day here in sunny Tauranga.. While taking a quick walk round the side of the Mount in between jobs today, I snapped this photo of a boat sailing out from the entrance... something quite different :-)

Looking out to both Leisure & Rabbit Island

What a fantastic day.. the weather has been brilliant!
Went for a walk around the Mount today and a little way up it as well.
Took this photo and had a little play in PhotoShop when I got home.

Looking for employment in Tauranga

Check out the front page of my CV.
I have been employed by the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic for seven years,. I have worked as the Operations Coordinator/Team Leader for three different computer courses that have taken place at the Polytechnic, community venues and at many local business premises. Several thousand people have enrolled into these courses which unfortunately were made redundant along with myself at the end of December/early January due to cuts in government funding
Still looking for my new job in Tauranga!

A day out on the water

Was great to get out on the water again.. it's been a while. Went out on a friends cat and headed out past A buoy for a snapper fish. I love heading out to sea and checking out the Mount from a different angle.
The weather was a bit dull and drizzly out there, but still was a fantastic day. Caught our limit of 9 snapper each plus a few other fish....lots of Kingfish swimming around the boat and hassling the snapper as the came up to the boat. Saw a good size flying fish as it lept out of the water and 'flew' across the swells. Pretty impresvie to watch.
Applied for a few more jobs so now just waiting for that call! :-)
