Loved the way the afternoon sun left pockets of shadow on these hills.

The pohutukawas on Rangitoto Island seem to be a deeper red than the mainland. Looking through these ones to Motutapu.

A beautiful spring day at Piha, the well recognized northern headland from halfway up Lion Rock.

New growth and flowering pohutukawa, sure signs that summer is here!

Went on a fabulous trip up Port Jackson with my artist mate Libby McColl. The road up there is stunning with beaches like this one spanning the coastline. Felt like some nice summery colours to go with this balmy weather.

We spent a lot of time on our xmas holiday in that beautiful clean surf. The northern end of Langs Beach with Whangarei Heads on the horizon.

Our old camping spot at Elliot Bay brings back many fond memories. Have snorkled these waters many times. Love the crystal clear water and the view out to Cape Brett.

One of my favourite beaches...love the surf there.

This place has special meaning after spending many summer holidays camping here. Elliot Bay with Cape Brett on the horizon. This piece is available as a limited edition print of 30, either on canvas or paper.
