Default Lunch At The Beach....

Sunday was a day at the boat show, but we took time out to travel to the beach about ten minutes away to have lunch. These are just a few of what I captured while having lunch.

Pauline, your photographs are stunning. The seagull is so sharp and clear and I hope after that lovely pose you did share your lunch with him. lol.. The two scenic views are so beautiful, I would love to visit that gorgeous beach and the wildflower too is lovely. As always the presentation makes this another great post. Thanks for sharing more of your lovely country.

Dave.

Fantastic shots Pauline - obviously the Seagull wanted to join you for lunch also.

Wahi Beach is beautiful, especially in the summer. Cheers, Bernz

Oh yes Dave. He did quite well, between four of us, I think he went away very satisfied. There is always a door open here if you ever decide to visit and see all this beauty first hand my friend. LOL

Default Great photos

I love how clear the seagull is and how perfectly aligned and undisturbed the pedals on the flower are.

Very nice set Keenlearner! I especially like the gull. Your wild flower is lovely.
Thanks for sharing these

How could I not like these, the first three are my prefered pictures but all are excellent.
Great detail captured in the gull and the sand, sea and colours in the second and third pictures is extremely inviting.
I also like that you increased the size of the third picture, good choice and it would great to see all your work in this larger format

Thanks for your kind comment Beach. I agree with you that the larger sizing does make a big difference, but I didn't think we were allowed to display them in the larger size on the school because of the huge number of shots that are entered there.
