People watching at McLaren Falls




A couple of weeks ago I visited McLaren Falls here in Tauranga - while I was enjoying the spectacular Autumn colours I decided to people watch. In the top photo was a mum with her toddler who was throwing leaves around and feeding ducks, in the bottom shot was a mum, child and grandmother making their way to the same area of the park (Cherry Bay).

What do you like to do with your camera? People watch? Nature watch or something else?

How beautiful! Makes me already long for fall, yet we still have summer ahead of us!

Beautiful colours. The advantage of being that bit further south. Hope you are enjoying life down there. I love people watching, especially at airports. I once nearly missed my son's long awaited arrival by being engrossed in watching another reunion.

Wow thanks for visiting my blogsite, i am glad to find someone from that area. We wished to go to Tauranga when i was there, went to Waitomo and Rotorua. But there's simply not enough time. Those colors are spectacular, i haven't seen Autumn in real life. I will add you to my bloglist and browse in your older posts. I love NZ.

That's a beautiful park. Most of my photos are of things and the only time I photograph people are my family.

Such a pretty park. I'm really pretty bad at people photos, though I have a couple of exceptions in today's post. Birds, wildlife and scenery usually only.

Pretty, Amy! It's so funny to see fall colors now, as we head into summer here. I'm better at scenery and close ups that people. Your shots are great!

People watching is fun but I don't usually capture it. Lovely Autumn moments.

I like to do both - people watch and nature watch. ;) But many people are funny about having their photos taken, so I mostly shoot nature.

I like to do both, although I am a little more fascinated by nature. Your photos are lovely.

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 .
