My walk today

Little Oneroa Bay, notice the little pink blossom tree.

It was a lovely Spring morning today so I took my camera along with me on my early morning walk. Here are a few places that I loved today.

This old Boatshed at Little Oneroa Beach, is actually a new build, made with recycled timber.
Now wouldn't that be nice to have for a little studio to create in. {dreaming here}
A pretty pink blossom tree, with the beautiful blue sky background ~ maybe there will be some peaches here to enjoy one day.

Driving back from dropping the rest of the family down to the morning ferry, I saw the cutest sight ~ Father and Mother Duck with their seven precious little ducklings waddling along the footpath behind them.
I went back with my camera, hoping to be able to take a photo of this cute little family, but could not see them anywhere. I hope that I might be able to see them again and this time have my camera with me.

All Nature seems at work,
Slugs leave their lair
The bees are stirring~
Birds are on the wing,
And winter slumbering
In the open air
Wears on his face
A dream of spring.
~ S. T. Coleridge

I hope that you have a wonderful week
Hugs
Carolyn

  3. Carolyn, What beautiful photos!
    Lovely to see. New Zealand beauty.

    Presently our temps are starting to drop and I'd like it to stay at about 73 degrees, but it seems to be colder than comfortable.

    This morning it was 44. Sweater weather.
    Brrrrr,
