we were up and out of the house at nine this morning for a walk round Wenderholm regional park

Anni went up a tree and i saw a hat on a sign

and of course there’s the views from the look out

but the big question of the day was whether we saw a dolphin / shark when we looked out to sea.   Kezia and i thought it was.  Esther and Jane weren’t so sure.

the problem was i’d not brought my big camera (with big zoom lens), so this is what the sea looked like (above)

but closer inspection of my photos suggest there’s a strong possibility it was a dolphin snacking on sting rays in the shallows

you decide!

anyway, we decided to take the trick route rather than cutting across the top which was good fun

this afternoon the  girls went shopping in Browns Bay to pick up esther’s glasses (but  the shop was shut) while Anni had a sporting thing at school

i stayed at home and longlisted some photos as i might apply for my Associate award with the NZ Photo Society later in the month if i can get myself organised.

i need to get a dozen photos which all fit nicely together in to a panel of images.  We’ll have to see how i feel about it when i’ve narrowed down my longlist
