Summer Ritual
And who hasn't done this when you were kids on those hot summer days. Nana high pressure water jets Thomas. His turn next....I need to catch that when it happens
Shag & Octopus
While walking at the Bridge Marina I noticed a Shag fishing underwater. He was busy poking under rocks and must have upset a resident Octopus that came out and puffed itself up (as they do defensively) The Shag was totally unimpressed and just kept on with his mission.

Flax
I think its Flax if not its a close relation. I liked the silver and green look on the underside of the straps that were exposed after a heavy storm went through.

A Haunting and Sad Moment
I took this photo over a month ago without thinking or knowing and it was not until I was looking back over my files that I realised that this is the mum of the little boy Jack who was lost to a rogue wave from a rocky and shelly beach at the Mount earlier this year.
I would not have put this up but tonight when we walked around the Mount (Mauao) base track and looked at the large Pohutukawa tree where the family and public have left pictures, toys and shell strings in memory. I made the decision. The little red flag has Jack written on it.

6 Years Back Already
Time just rushes past.
This shot taken in 2009! Some of my work mates with me on the right.
Gannet Dive
Spots prey, air brakes on (tail and feet) starts to drop
Still dropping wings changing shape
Neck extending wings pulling back, speed gaining
Everything changes to the shape of a spear. This stage is extremely fast and barely visible

Ocean Race Tauranga
With Mayor Island (Tuhua) in the background the yachts round A boy to hear back into the harbour. As you can see it was blowing like hell from the South West.

Cafe With A Difference
A great place at the Mount to watch the waves have a chat and get the daily fix.
