What's washed up this week?


Sometimes I like to walk along the beach and check out some of the life that's washed up. This curious concoction (above) is something that intrigued me, I can see shells underneath but not sure what the red blobs or the white bubbles are up on top.


Sea lettuce attached to shells doesn't surprise me. Every Summer around January this green stuff gets washed up over the waves, sometimes it's a bit of a pain.


Different kinds of seaweed and sponge get washed up, I like the ones that you can pop with your fingers.


This lone starfish was all by itself, seems something might have had a munch on the ends before the tide bought it up to the beach.

Linking up with Our World Tuesday :-)

Great photos. I like the seaweed you can pop with your fingers as well. Hubby calls them sea grapes (a fun name). That first photo looks like somebody cooked a bunch of bay scallops and put a silver pearl in the middle of it. I will pass on a taste of it :)

Being from 'above' the equator, I find the phrase "Every Summer around January" a bit intriguing.

That first thing is a bit gnarly, I feel compelled to find a stick and flip it over. You get some cool stuff on your beaches, starfishes and sponges don't normally make it this way.

Some of them have quite an alien look to them.

Interesting finds on the beach. The starfish looks like it had seen better days. I like looking for sea glass, the different colours are nice to find. You gets lots of clear, some green, brown and occasionally blue and if you're lucky, red.

I agree Amy, treasure hunting when the tide recedes can turn up some weird and wonderful treasuures 😊 Apart from that it's just fab being on the beach!

What a great variety of sea life you've found here. I feel like I've had a walk on the beach and I thank you for that.

It must be a pleasure to walk along the beach and make such discoveries. The first photo is a real mystery.

It's fine when the treasure is on the beach - I don't like 'mysteries' with me in the water!

maybe the white bulbs are some kind of eggs, but the red stuff, Have no clue.
But a nice adventure it is.

Our starfish have gone through a bad bout with what they call wasting disease. They seem to just melt away into mush. - Margy

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 .

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 ...
