1st day of Winter, and what a chilly one it was





On the way to work this morning due to a late start I stopped off at our local beach with my camera to try and get photos of the sunrise. I snapped some different scenes.....it was extremely chilly, being the first day of Winter here in NZ so lucky I was wearing a warm cardigan. Despite the cold and the drizzle I thought I did quite well with these shots. I think from what I could see the dog in the last one was a playful Labrador who looked like he/she ws having oodles of fun.

Once I got to work I ended up getting two fillings done, one was an old metal filling from when I was at primary school years ago and the other was one that broke 2 nights ago. Very glad I work for a dentist so it was all completely quite quickly. Hope your week has been good so far ;-)

Well on the first day of Summer here I am back into winter clothes and the heating has just come back on because the temperature has dropped so much. What a delightful walk you have to work.

It's still nicely green for winter. My dentist has insisted I get a couple of dinosaur fillings replaced soon :-(

Maybe cold, but the first day of Winter was beautiful! Not a bad benefit, to get your dental work done on the job by someone you know and trust! My sister was a dentist (she just retired) but we were never able to use her services because she was in another city and our insurance wouldn't have covered it.

Winter doesn't looks so bad in New Zealand. Though I know it can get pretty rainy for you guys! Have a great week!

Beautiful shots!! I would love to say that here is summerly hot... but it is not even autumn! Raining every single day... But I hope for, at least, a touch of spring next week!!

Winter arrived with a rush, didn't it? It's cold here too, I'm not tempted to go near the beach, will be more than happy enjoying your images.
