Brush Wattle (Paraserianthes Lophantha)
They seem to be flowering everywhere, along the roads, by watercourses, in wetlands. Very pretty, and fluffy as a kitten. And a weed. A fast growing tree up to 10 metres high.
Lower Nihotupu Reservoir
On yesterday’s seriously cold morning, the mist drifts across the lake as the sun rises behind the ridge.
Piha Beach
A fine afternoon at the Beach.
Location Signs: Green Bay
It has to be one of the most understated welcome signs – maybe a bit like Green Bay itself?

Oystercatchers
Last Tuesday afternoon near full tide. A good sized flock of oystercatchers were roosting on the sandbank by Titirangi Beach. Suddenly, on no apparent signal, they lifted off, flying out into Paturoa Bay, turning a few circles, and settling down again. Beautiful.
As the tide came further in, their patch of sand got smaller and smaller, and the march to the shore began.

The Birthday Cake
