More then skin deep - the original

Grade A grey day

This was the scene that greeted me when I woke this morning - dad & the kids rowing out into the bay for a spot of pre-breakfast fishing. I simply hopped out of bed walked a few metres to the beach and captured the scene. What a lovely start to the day :)

Westhaven inlet is a beautiful is a beautiful expanse of water, even when the weather isn't so good it retains it's beauty.

Close but no cigar!

Got the shot just not the clarity. ON the right tracks though. Patience.

Kereru

On any other day, this chap would have been my blip! Thank you Mr Kereru :)

Parachute Rock

The unintentional hike took us to this magnificent view

Jungle gym fun

Founders Book Fair

This lovely lady was hunting a copy of "To Kill A Mockingbird" because her original copy has disappeared. It's good to see that she's picked up a few other bargains too, even though couldn't find the book she was after :(

Mervina Mantis

I've had a problem today deciding which shots of the beautiful, pregnant Mervina mantis to post on blip. These 2 lost out but I figured they were still worth posting.

Lake Rotoiti

I haven't been here for sooooooo long and being here today told me that I should come down here more often. It really is a stunning place no matter what the season.

LB's beautiful eyes

I know I've blipped LB's eyes before but they did look rather gorgeous today - so here they are :)

Impromptu Portrait

Say Hi to D - the nice guy who didn't mind me snuffling around an old rusty beer tanker stored at the back of his brewery!

Thanks heaps for letting me do my thing D - and for allowing me to shoot you too :) You're now famous all over blipland and blogsville!!

Cheers

:)

Waitangi Day

This was my second choice for a blip today, but seeing as kanyl mentioned it, here is 'the long tongue' version!!

Un-masked

The annual mask parade - but I had too many choices for which shot to blip!! Thought a collage would look quite cool :)

Going dotty too!

In answer to those who asked, I guess a high contrast b/w version might look something like this......

Blooming......

Almost there - just 2 weeks to go before 'Lump' meets N & T in person......

Ball 'Eds!!

What can I say?!?!

Ball heads!

Aliens....??
