Waikawa Bay by maggiemae

Waikawa Bay

We are now in the South Island of NZ but the weather hasn’t been kind. Kinder than other places - wind, floods, snow, ice, floods etc though! Had two nights in a lovely camp with autumn tree colour. Quiet except for a man over the fence in his own home who appeared to be outside most of the time talking loudly! Maybe on the phone, or smoking perhaps.
Three good things:
1. The owners were rapt to meet Burt Munro’s son and got me to take photos on their camera.
2. The pukekos around the van had a confrontation with a weka.
3. Some lovely NZ lamb shoulder chops - such a nice smell while they cooked!
Lamb chops..Burt munro's son..great stuff.
I have so missedyou guys.!

A terrific composition of the shot to show the grasses along the waters edge and the boat house across the bay. Beautiful color and detail Maggiemae.

@gijsje Its a small brown hen size flightless bird that is endemic to NZ. Only see them in certain spots around NZ.

@grammyn I noticed the autumn colours in this shot when I downloaded it to the computer, Katy!

@louannwarren It was very quiet here today, Lou Ann! Other places around NZ had extreme weather! We seem to get the best weather.

@brennieb I've not gone off the site, Brennie - can't keep up with everyone though, as much as I would like to. Limitations of power and internet when travelling

@maggiemae as we approach summer it is so odd to think of autumn colors and winter fast approaching you!
