Maybe these need some describing, but here are (the better) random pictures from my holiday. Not dial-up friendly. Mostly landscapes and close-ups. Lots of plants.
Assorted Christmas ornaments





My Christmas present from
tamarillow and
maudlinrose

Flax in the Matua Salt Marsh in Tauranga

Matua Salt Marsh

A fence in the marsh (which we decided was for the sharks)



The beach at Mt Maunganui from when we were walking around the base

The view from the other side

The day was actually quite good, if windy, but I'm terrible at taking good photos of the sky

One of the many many photos I took of pohutukawa in bloom


The bench is fighting a vailant, but losing, battle against the agapanthus

More pohutukawa




On the walk through to Bridal Veil falls

And the falls

More of the same. The waterfall is 55 metres, top to bottom.

And from the bottom

The walk up



Wainui Beach near Raglan

There was this paraglider - it looked like awesome fun
