An Auckland beach by maggiemae

An Auckland beach

This one is in Whangaparoa, north of Auckland, NZ where we stayed the previous night. The lovely pohutukawa trees provide interesting silhouettes agains the sea.

Three good things;
1. Glad we don't live here - the queues of traffic are tremendous at all times of the day!
2. Driving on the left side of the road.
3. A neat and new haircut - I do love having my head massaged at the basin. Should be compulsory.
Oh, Lovely. would love to go there. Wonderful.

@grammyn Good for you seeing that old classic yacht - it was fairly obvious to me standing here but due to my wide angle, it looks far away!

@happypat The hairdresser twiddled my hair in her fingers and made sort of ringlets - quite curly! But didn't take a photo, Pat!

Great shot, Maggie. Very pretty. I have to fav it. What a view. I love the hairdresser, too! I love having my hair shampooed and then styled. I'll never go short though. My hairdresser usually uses a straightening iron. My best friend used to come over and brush and braid my hair while looking at pictures. Oh how I miss that.

What a gorgeous place - can tell why it's busy but I'm reliably informed that there are stunning beaches in NZ that are empty!
October 18th, 2014  
what a beautiful place to take a picnic

Love everything about this: light, trees, framing... I could go on, but will sum up with one three-letter "word" beginning with f.
