Stormy Spring mornings at the beach...


The thing about Spring here in NZ is that it's almost like 4 seasons in 1 day. Yesterday we had lovely sun and warm temperatures, today it's very nippy with a cold wind in the air.


On my beach walk there wasn't much action, these old pieces of wood had washed up some time ago and remained on the sand.


A piece of pumice on one of the old logs drew my attention along with bits and pieces of seaweed and shells.


I think I saw 2 other people walking their dogs but that was about it - I think everyone else had decided indoors was a warmer place to be.

Linking up with Our World Tuesday :-)

An interesting walk. I wouldn't be able to resist having a good look at the driftwood.

I'd count drift wood and other debris being thrown up on the beach as 'things happening'. They are definitely interesting, sometimes beautiful and clearly in accord with the theme in that they often come surprisingly long distances from around the world.

Changeable weather can be fun .... the Oregon Coast is kind of like that in all seasons. Is it really Spring already? Our season won't change to Autumn for over a month now (officially anyhow).

Beautiful photos from your beach walk. I was walking the beach this last weekend in California but I think my experience was a quite a bit warmer than yours at least for now. It won't be long before it swings the other way.

Something of a brooding day there, it seems.

A walk along the beach is always interesting. I love driftwood and pick up pieces to take home. My wife uses them in her crafts. Also sea glass is fun to find and collect.

There is something about pumice that intrigues me. I think it's the fact that it could have floated to where it ended up on that driftwood.

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 .
