I've said before that the bay has a different look every day. While many "themes" repeat each day is just a bit different. Then you have days like this which stand out as unique.
But then there days like today which are simply perfect, but my meager camera skills can not capture it.
The other moods I'd like to show you I can't... These are the days when the wind and rain scrub the grass from the ground and everyone can only struggle head down in to the gales.
But today the weather is fine. The sunny harbour picture is from today. I walked in at high tide and the waves had stopped. The water was still and sparkling. I think I saw some penguins on the ride in, but they are hard to spot at a distance. If they were not penguins then we had a lot of shags out swimming this morning. A great day!
I covet your trips past the bay!
ReplyDeleteTho, erm, what are shags???
A strange water bird that I was not familiar with prior to coming to NZ. I think in North America they're called cormorants. They are black with white patches on each side of the head. They are roughly shaped like sleek pelicans and they dive straight in to the water and swim underwater to fish.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a cormorant, yah! Though I thought they were normally more greyish. Still - way cool!
ReplyDeleteOooo they're spunky! Hahaha, he looks SOOOO happy to have his picture taken :oP
