Seaweed, shells and scenery at Maketu Beach






Last weekend we drove out to Maketu Beach, about 30 minutes from here. A previous post from a week ago showed a photo of the local historical church but in these shots I decided to focus on not just the beach but also two things I like the most....shells and seaweed. Just the shapes, colours and textures interest me - there are so many varieties of both.

On another note, things have been really quiet this week without my daughter but she did get to go to her senior school ball with her friends. Her photos show a very happy girl so that I am pleased about :-)

Hope your coming week is positive...

I love to find these things on the beach too -- and I love a quiet beach as this one looks (not a lot of people suntanning, but I guess that figures since it is your winter -- I would like that better!)
