The Green Hills of North Otago by maggiemae

The Green Hills of North Otago

On a lovely drive down the coast and back through to the Main Road, we noticed ponds were full and this particular one had one swan on it. It was too far away for my camera zoom so I just took this one with the green stripes on the surrounding hills.'

Three good things:
1. Brunch at a cafe; I had pancakes, bacon, grilled banana and lashings of sticky maple syrup.
2.Coffee at a seaside cafe where I stared out to sea in vain for a sighting of a dolphin or orca.
3. Rugby - All Blacks won over France, sorry, @cocobella! It was 30/nil!
Wow ... look at the strips of field colour! Beautiful ... and SO calm!
