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

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!
