Default Te Puru by the Sea...NZ

Oooops! Try again...the first lot disappeared.
This is Te Puru by the sea where I had the privilege of living for seven and a half years.

Thankyou Leona. I was indeed, a very lucky lady to have this beautiful spot for those seven and a half years.

Another glorious foursome but the first one takes the prizes today. beautiful light, fantastic perspective, great location, all translate into an almost magical seascape. Keanleaner, you should be changing your name to Quicklearner, you continue to present high quality work

Hi Pauline, I thought I made a comment on this one yesterday, mmmmm I wonder where the post went..
I love the colours in the first one and the sublte reflection on the sea and the reflections in the second two are so lovely too. It must have been a great place to live. Great shot of the kite surfer too although I think I'll stay on land and watch.
Pauline you should send some of your lovely work to your tourist board. You certainly make me want to come and visit with all the excellent photographs from your lovely country.

Dave.

Thankyou Michael. Yes I think the 2nd shot would be my fave too, but simply because of my love of birds. I can never see enough of them.

Many thanks for the kind compliment Beach. I do try very hard to get the ultimate shot, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. Hey, that's all part of the learning process.

Well, I think the last set must be out there in Cyber Space someplace LOL Nevermind, This location was a magical place to live...I'd go back there tomorrow, but circumstances don't permit at the moment. I just love the sea, the birds and the air, and sat on the beach and wrote many a poem. However, having said that, don't take me fishing in a boat, cos I'll feed them all day and won't catch a one. LOL
