Summer Days at the Beach

 

We missed out on a lot of beach time this summer.

 But we made up for it and enjoyed the days we did go down to the beach.

Summer is over and its been raining for days, so while I'm missing those sunny days , I thought I would share a few of our beach days...

A beautiful day at Shakespeare Park...

The clear calm waters of Waiake Beach...

looking for crabs

Rangitoto Island in the background

walking in the waves

Late afternoon sun

swimming in the shallows

and leaving works of art in the sand...

Take Care everyone,

My Spring Garden

I've been neglecting my blog, I'm really sorry - but I will be back!!!!

I'm really busy getting ready for the craft market next month and that means building up stock and I'm up late into the night working so my poor blog is taking a bit of a back seat.

Last night, Gabe needed some images for a school project about his back garden so I put together the above collage for him. I've been so busy I havn't really noticed that life is beginning to come back to our garden - yay!

Our family of hedgehogs are back into the bin bags left outside and the flowers are in full bloom....not to mention the millions of birds that seem to love our garden...

 Hope you are all having a great week

Take care

Stormy Skies

Taken on my phone, outside Maclayne's creche after drop off on Wednesday.

Weekly Photo Challenge - Water

Hi Guys,

Today I'm submitting a photo to Our Reflection's - Weekly Photo Challenge . Laura has an awesome blog - please pop over for a visit and check out her photography and wonderful family.

This week's theme is "Water".  

I took this picture a wee while ago at the Marina on the NorthShore. 

I love how the clouds are reflected and the water ripples gently in the breeze... So peaceful

Take care
