And I'll sign off with this lovely find - Muppets on Mairehau. I especially love that Janice is reprazenting for CERA.

sea flowers
Sea tulips , I think. Despite their appearance, not plants at all but a type of sea squirt .

Wow! Great shots Kebabette. Glad this has continued, and we got some of the Luxcity photos. ;-)

Thanks Jackson, I put a few other Luxcity photos up on Flickr but I didn't get much good due to squishing crowds & my amateurish fiddling with camera! Quite an odd - and oddly beautiful - event.

We headed over to Waiheke for a few days. Even with the weather, the view back to Auckland was not all bad.

And the local tui were completely unafraid of amateur snappers determined to actually get one decent shot for a change.

Did your child make the long traverse to the Hastings Olympics the year before?
No - he wasn't a Steiner boy all his life, transferred there at intermediate school after a bad experience at the school we started him at.

Yep, they were occupying the tree right by the cafe we were in. Teasing patrons dogs and everything.

Auckland looks pretty spesh with that light! :-)

hard to keep up with this flurry of great shots! Luxcity, Waiheke, Starfish and back to birds…
Sea squirts!? Who names these things?
And sorry, it’s back to Shags. This chap appears to be wearing a bubble hat… a bit fuzzy from cropping.

Probably kids who grow up on beaches.
If you squash 'em a bit, the 3 things called seasquirts commonly found on/around ANZbeaches, will produce fluid, some quite liquid, some gluey-NB: seasquirts of one kind or another are found in very many coastal environs...

Learning more every day!! I'll have to go on a sea squire hunt.

The big Australian squirt common around Sydney is known as cunjevoi, a word supposedly of 'indigenous origin'. Talk of using 'scungy boys' for bait piqued my curiosity, so I had to ask.

He will have been there when my twins visited . Thanks, to him, to the others, and to the teacher, and school, and the lovely Linda. We needed a safe and beautiful place to regroup, and you all provided it (and I came to know and love brandysnap icecream from a little factory by the port.) That time away meant when the February 22 earthquake happened (epicentre 3km from our house) the boys were so settled that they voted to stay here rather than run. And that decision has led to many good things.
I fell in love with Dunedin, having never spent much time there in my adult life, and Evening Ravensbourne caught the magic.

Sea squirt: what an apt name. Them being an animal makes the little horrors even creepier. That pink bald-cat look, yukyukyuk.

It would. They look gross too. I am beginning to imagine forests of creepiness beneath the sea.

big Australian squirt
This could be a euphemism for something?
But I'd expect it to be big in Australia. Even the cats are the size of medium dogs over there....

Probably not far wrong! At least you can generally see to the bottom of a rock pool : )
