Actual beach....

...where I took my other seaweed photo on my 365 site. I'm not sure I like the way I have darkened that photo as the beach is really golden. Yellow-eyed penguins come on to this beach, called Bushy Beach after 3pm.

A perfect spot for a yellow eyed penguin, they couldn't have picked a nicer beach! Lots of cover for them to do their thing!

@happypat -- --- not sleeping, Pat??

I can't imagine going to a beach and seeing penguins! This is a gorgeous beach and I love how you have framed the water!

[Mark Prince]

Wonderful mix of colours, lovely scene.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Oh, that looks so warm and sunny and lovely.

[Paulette Mattingly]

Lovely. How nice to be able to see areas like this.

[Harry J Benson]

the colour here is so inviting, it is hard to believe it is the same place as the darkened one

[Sheila]

So pretty!

[Paula]

Beautiful ... great processing!

[Ashley Ross]

Oamaru is awesome, loved visiting the Penguin Place there recently. Shame you can't take your cameras in, but I guess some people can't be trusted with flashes! Great shot.

I love this processing!

[Dee L.]

Beautiful photo. Love how I feel like I'm peeking through the bush to see the beach. I would love to see some penguins on our beach.

[Emilie Cartoun]

Its lovely. Love the detail and brightness.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Linda H.Y. Hegland]

I like how you processed this - like a painting.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Pretty shot- looks like a nice beach for a stroll and even more fun to watch the penguins come in (from a distance of course).

[Taffy]

It looks lovely! It's quite bright, but I'm guessing that was what you were intending in the processing.

[Rick Schies]

This looks like a beautiful area

[Lesley Chisholm]

What pretty colours. I like the sneaky peak at the beach through the trees.

[Keri]

A lovely glimpse of the beach. Where exactly is Bushy Beach? We will be down that way in Feb with some friends who I know would love to visit places like this - especially if there are some penguins about!

[Maggiemae]

@pitasmum Its just south east of Oamaru and well signposted from the historic part of Oamaru. About 8 minutes drive. But the main attraction here is the Little Blue Penguins who come ashore at dusk right in the Harbour - around 150 of them. They are adorable!

[Maggiemae]

@pitasmum http://www.visitoamaru.co.nz/home.aspx....check it out! Fabulous! Hope to see you!

[John]

A decidedly inviting and beautiful scene!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A beautiful glimps of the sea -- great editing Maggiemae !

[Gail]

Wow, very inviting indeed. Looks so pretty.

[Debi 🐩]

Nice peep through the vegetation

[Sharon]

Love this shot and how you've caught the difference in the colour of the sea, brilliant

[Anita Russell]

Just makes you want to run to the sea!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Beautiful.

[Maggiemae]

@neatz Its a very steep cliff path, Anita - you can' possibly run and if you are like me - aged legs - you edge down gradually trying not to slip!

[Phil Howcroft]

looks a beautiful location maggie

[Gena Pegg]

Would love to see the penguins. Why the odd name after 3pm?

[Maggiemae]

@eyesmile Not sure what you mean, Gena?

[Bev]

Lovely shot, Maggie. Too bad you can't get the penguins on camera. Maybe stick a motion sensor video cam in a tree?
