Saturday at Paekakarika

David and Pippa have a bach/beach house here - about 45 minutes north west from Wellington.

Just along the road from the house is an entrance to the Queen Elizabeth Park.  We did a circular walk taking in a reserve, a memorial to WW2 US mariners who were drowned in a training accident and then back home via the beach.

The sculpture  in this photo represents a mother whale and her calf.  The tree is a pohutakawa and flowers around Xmas but this one had flowers attracting lots of bees.


This shot of Pippa shows a bit of park and beach.  


It's a very long beach, ideal for dog walkers, swimmers and horse riding!



David and Mark striding ahead with Pippa and me taking it at a more leisurely pace!



We  half talked about going for a swim but by this time it was late afternoon.
