This is the best of where I live!

one of my best shots from Te Arai beach - about 10 mins from where I live in Mangawhai Heads.

Yellow daisies in te arai

Stormy colours of Wellsford

This is what a stormy winter's afternoon looks like through the windows of the kitchen at work. Very orange skies tinged with gray & black. If only I'd been at home hibernating - then it would've been perfect!

A special afternoon at Te Arai Surf Beach

Te Arai Surf beach is about 15 mins drive from where we live at Mangawhai Heads. Not only does it have a beach but also has a small lagoon around the corner from the rocks. Waves splashing up & tons of shells covering the sand makes it a lovely unique place to relax.

Coffee in my old town of Maungaturoto

so after not blogging for quite some time, lost my mojo I've come back and have lots of new photos to share. This one is from this morning when I was in my old home town of Maungaturoto having coffee with a friend. Here's the view from one of the outside tables - was a hot morning outside, unusual for Autumn but people were very busy going past doing their daily stuff.
