Our local beach is called Muriwai .. a surfer’s spot and only about 35 minutes from Auckland. So it ticks a few boxes for the hubby. It is also our border collie, Dan’s favourite spot too … he looks forward to those morning walks.
Kite boarding anyone?
Go fast? Absolutely …
Swim between the flags …
Early morning rides
One very happy pooch!
Enjoy!
Lovely! I too just took pics of the ocean yesterday. It was a gorgeous day..
Hey Roberta love taking pics of the beach. I left the best one out too! Whoops π
I hope you will decide to post it…
Ha. Dan, ever since you taught him to run backwards he just shows off now.
LOL Nice to see you Mr Nock!
I can smell the salt air……thanks for sharing
Hey Lizzie you are welcome π

I haven’t been to that particular beach on our trip but I have fond memories of very beautiful beaches in NZ. Your pics are pretty…wish I were there π
Lovely to hear from you. So nice having a beach close by. Pleased you liked the pics! π
Such lovely photos Julie! I’ve never taken my Border Collie, Rilla, to the beach, although I am sure she would love it. We live just over and hour away from the beach, which is a long car ride for her, and a lot of the nicer beaches are dog free zones π
Hope you have a lovely week!

Hey Sarah .. I just love your pooches. Was showing my hubby pics of Spud this am. Dan loves the beach but is so antisocial. I’m sure he believes he is a human. So nice to hear from you … hope you have a lovely week too! π
What stunning photos! Simply beautiful.
Hi Kate .. Lovely to hear from you. Thanks for your special comments π
Great pics of a great place!! I used to make special trips from Takanini to watch my horses being trained on that beach …….. they joined the beach via tracks through the Woodhill Forest. The horses loved it – so much better for their minds than being trained round and round a track.!! Look at Dan – doesn’t he just love it!!
Hey Brenda I didn’t know that you used to have horses.I just love my walks on the beach when they are training. Magic watching them gallop along the sand. So much better than track training. Yep that pooch adores the beach!
Wonderful photos. I have always wanted to surf (of course, I am a little long in the tooth now, not to mention landlocked!) to compare it to swimming the rivers. Something about moving water that gets me. Your garden looks lovely. Still ice and snow in my neck of the woods, but I have started a few seeds for transplanting at the end of May. I have confidence spring will arrive as scheduled. Take care.
Thank you. I enjoy your pics and wonderful words. Good luck with those seeds π
These are gorgeous! I especially love # 1, 2 and the last one. New Zealand is near the top of my list of places I can’t wait to visit! ~Sherry
Thank you .. Yes, you must visit NZ. So beautiful. You would have a ball with your camera π
