People watching on the beach


Those rare winter days when it's fine outside means it's a good chance to go for a walk. For us we like to venture to the beach nearby, about 5 minutes walk away and such a good chance to people watch. Do you do that too? This shot was taken of some friends with their dogs enjoying the waves and grandparents taking their grandchild in the stroller. Unfortunately today is back to rain again - would've been perfect to have been at home with a good book, such is life when you have to work :-)

yes it doesn't get that cold here, in the daytime in winter the highest we get is probably 16 deg celsius but it was a warm sunny day :-)

I would enjoy those walks by the sea, whatever the weather.

Oh yes, we only get to the beach once a year for a week but the people watching is as much fun as anything else there.

Oh yes we enjoy people watching everywhere -- I hope we get to go to the Oregon Coast one of these days soon -- to watch people and waves and birds....

I started to say that winter didn't look too bad where you live, but then I read that this was one of those rare winter days when it is nice -- that reminds me of Oregon.

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
