Thank you..

..dear readers, for leaping to your keyboards and restoring my faith in blogging.

I've been out and about over the past 24 hours - firstly to the Bluff Oyster Festival.  As well as being NZ's southernmost town and on e that was settled by Europeans very early on in NZ's history, Bluff is most famous for its oysters.
 This was the lineup on stage for the sea-themed fashion show. Some very imaginative costumes.
 On the docks afterwards....
 ...a nice little fishing boat.
 I liked the reflection of the rope in the water...
 ...and of this boat too.



 This morning, I went out to Oreti Beach to take some moody in-the-rain photos but as soon as I decided to do that, the weather improved.
 There had been quite a bit of rain during the night, and even a touch of snow on the hills.
I always like seascapes with a bird in them.  Click on photos to enlarge them.

There's something about reflections on water.

I just came by to say hello. I have a little computer time this morning and so I am catching up on friend's blogs that may have not been commented on, by me at the time they were posted. Your photos are looking good. Hope you are enjoying your course.
Cheers from up north.
