It is a Public Holiday today so everyone is out and about and with the recent Covid scare we decided to walk on Beach Road, Onerahi and take our morning refreshments to have at a picnic table rather than go to a busy cafe.
The weather was perfect.
Most of the walkers, two more turned up after the photo and one was taking the photo.
This is a view of some of the houses that look out across the harbour.
The airport is just above us and this was an Air New Zealand plane taking off, presumably headed to Auckland.
There were all manner of boats coming and going on this perfect day.
Doug took this photo of a Monarch butterfly on a solar light bottle he was given for Christmas.
Very few blue skies here at the moment. Foul weather all round; we could do with some of your sunshine.
ReplyDeleteIn six months time it will be the other way around.
Deletegreat weather for Auckland's Anniversary Day, love those blue skies you have.
ReplyDeleteYes great weather. It is Northland Anniversary Day as well. (It would have been next weekend but that was changed to Waitangi Day and we were given the same as Auckland). It was perfect for our walk and catch up after.
DeleteThose are beautiful blue skies and lovely green grass. Skies are grey here today. But we do have lots of green just now
ReplyDeleteWe were lucky, it was perfect
DeleteI haven't been out to Onerahi for many years, my cousin use to live out there but is sure is nice sitting next to the water.
ReplyDeleteThere were lots of boats being put in the water
DeleteThat all looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt is but then so is your area.
DeleteWow, so beautiful. Pouring rain here with a small threat of snow.
ReplyDeleteThe wheel will turn and we will have the rain (no snow unless things change dramatically) while you have the heat.
DeleteThat was a good turn-out for your walk, and such a lovely spot to go walking as well.
ReplyDeleteWe are really lucky with the places to walk here.
DeleteThese are such lovely sights of summer.
ReplyDeleteReading your post I can understand why New Zealand does not have a Covid problem like the rest of the world. Keep on doing what has worked for you.
I worry that people are getting lax with scanning the Covid app. Hopefully this scare will get more people using it again.
