Boys and girls and birds

School holiday and the weather is still summery.  Ish.  Yesterday I took two of the grand-daughters to the beach.  The crowds of Easter had gone, just a few people braving the water.  There was a cool breeze coming off the water.


Little boys, dressed to keep them warm, enjoying playing in the sand.  I just loved the determined stride of this little guy.
 

Sisters, keeping low out of the wind, enjoying a giggle. 
 
 

I was trying to get a shot of a seagull in the air but didn't expect as good a result as this.


 Another beach goer walking by, wrapped up against the wind.


Looking south along Ruakaka Beach.  Dark clouds building but they didn't develop into anything much.

  2. A great shot of the seagull. A pity you didn't have a bit of bread to drop on her bum.

  9. I could watch the beach for hours and hours just looking at the water and the sky. I visited your part of the world a few years back and can't wait to visit again.
