Time for a family fishing day!

On my ventures out and about I spotted this mum with her boy fishing off the wharf at the base of the Mauao Walking track here in Tauranga. Was quite a choppy windy warm day but it was very nice to see them enjoying it in the outdoors.

Have you been fishing and if so what type of fish can you catch in your part of the world?

We don't fish, but we do see a few people fishing down by the sea, but I don't know what kind of fish they catch. I'm just not patient enough. :(

We don't fish either, too impatient to wait for a nice big catch :) But we love staying outdoors, just watching these boats is already a treat for me :)

I used to occasionally take my boys when they were younger and my dad took me when I was a kid, but it isn't an activity that I regularly do. When I have spare time, I'm always out on a motorcycle ride.

It's always great to see young kids enjoying old fashioned outdoor activities, with no electronics! Fishing is huge in coastal florida. Grouper, marlin, you name it. We haven't fished here yet. Too busy with other stuff. Bill caught halibut and salmon when we were in alaska last summer.

I am not much of a fisherman. We have tried a few times in the Hauraki, but I generally get bored long before I catch anything.

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money). My research found that: "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with Tuesday Treasures , Happy Tuesdays and Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup .
