Christmas trees, Charteris Bay

The fast-paced week continues and work does not seem to be easing up - if anything I've more on my plate now than over the last few weeks...

Wednesday night saw a trip to the bay to celebrate my father's birthday. As I waited for the veg to finish cooking I headed down the steps and onto the beach to blip the lovely pohutakawa that line Traffic Cops Bay...

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas when the red blooms arrive...
