Napier at Dawn   The marina and fishing fleet at dawn     Looking across Westshore beach toward the breakwater and deepwater port     Westshore beach looking across the Heads at the marina entrance And some shots around our local area     A nearby lake with horses grazing in the early morning mist I am not sure if they were domestic horses or from the 'Kaimanua Wild Horses' which roam our central plateau     The New Zealand bush (forest) is fabulous, rich, green and soft, - not to mention safe, since we have no predators. Add the sound of our native pigeons, songbirds like Tui and Bellbird, and you have a glimpse of what the garden of Eden may have been like.     Alyce (aged 9) riding Pete's three wheel farm bike. The rocky plateau in the background gives way to a gloriously clear, safe, sandy beach 100 metres along. We have a caravan parked there in summer, and often spend our weekends here; eating our own fresh caught crayfish and Paua (Lobster and Abalone to the americans) and just kicking back with the other regulars in the community.   More of Methuselah and family   Back to Index
