The rocks fascinate me.
Every day there is something different to discover. From the various types of seaweed to the shells,
The beauty of form and colour can take your breath

The thing I really like about the image used
in the heading for this page is that, hopefully, it means we will never
again be presented with images such as this one of my 6' tall son standing
knee deep in water outside his bedroom door.
The 1.8 meter diameter pipes are about to used to replace the storm water drainage system that was not designed to cope with the upsurge in housing development here in Island Bay. Once completed, the chance "once in 50 years" deluge of rain (that happened twice within 6 months), should not cause such disruption and so much mess. |

Those pipes again. This time outside
the house waiting to be put in place.
Yes indeed, they sure are big. Here's hoping they have fixed the problem. (May 1998) |
