Wellington--- and it's not raining!!!

Can you belive it!!! It stopped raining for a few days... and that's in Wellington!

I had a couple of days there this week so got to go for a walk along the waterfront in the evening. I missed a few really good shots as I never had a small tri-pod with me and my night shots just had way too much shake on them even though I tried to steady the camera on a post!

Ice-bergs at the Mount Main Beach / Leisure Island

Hey it's been cold enough!!!

Walking along the beach saw a couple of massive ice-bergs drift right in to the shore... :-)

My son Brad at the start of the new Chapel St Fly Over

A couple of Taupo photos...

Well I can't belive we have had soo much rain!.. It's been so hard to get out and about and do a few day trips and take some photos.... So havent put any new photos on here again!!!. I havent been up to much, though I have spent a bit of time dancing in Tauranga on Sunday and Monday nights the Argentine Tango. It's so much fun :-) Decided to start teaching with a friend some basic moves in town after putting an add in the paper.

Looking forward to going back to Taupo for a few days soon.. need a bit of a break! well a trip overseas would be nice but hey... that can wait... Taupo will have to do for now. Just so much to do and see... some great walks and always nice to sit out on the lake front with a wine. Was at the races at Christmas and got a few good shots of the horses. Real interesting to go back to the stables and watch the horses getting ready for their races..

Looking out from Pilot Bay Mount Maunganui

Well, It sure has been a long time since my last blog!! well my last photo!... I just havent taken any good shots of late, or just havent really got out anywhere to take any photos.

Anyway have decided to get back into it again, get the camera out and get back to what I like to do. :-) Much rather take photos of people, so hopefully will start that soon :-)

Was out walking round the Mount with my son Brad on Sunday. At last a weekend without rain!

Well it's been a while since I posted anything on here!!

I'm going to have to make the effort to post some more photos.

Took some great shots of a friend of mine in Rotoura a couple of weeks ago down at one of the lakes. Was a fun day out!

I was at the Hamilton zoo not long ago and really like these 2 pictures so thought I would post them on here.

Mount Maunganui Beach

This afternoon went for a walk along the beach and got a few photos of some kite-surfers.

Was a pretty windy grey sort of day at the beach.

Lot of birds working close to shore feeding on small fish, so I guess there would have been plenty of King fish hanging around.. Hopefully will get out there soon and land a few with my new rods.

Last nights tea!

While I can cook the worlds best pavalova!! -- thats about all I can cook unfortunately.

I did have a good go at cooking 'Orange Turkey with Rice' hhhmmmm thats one dish I wont try cooking again in a hurry! :-)

Invited a friend to tea and tried to impess her with my cooking skills :-) Well at least she was impressed with the effort!!

Little Isabella

Was great to see Emily, Mike and Isabella this morning... Always real hard to get a few photos of the kids as no one likes posing for me!!

Isabella managed to stay still for a couple of sec's so I managed to get this one in!

Looking towards the wharf from Pilot Bay tonight

While driving to the Mount Hot pools for a swim tonight I saw the cruise ship at the wharf so thought I would get a couple of photos. I didn't have my tri-pod with me but managed to lean the camera on a bin.
