This One

…or this one?….

…I can’t decide….

…and where’s my tripod?

When Is A Log Not A Log

 

…when it’s a female sea lion of course…

 

…careful where you tread.

 

…(much larger than the last lass to drop by near my good friend Dee’s place…but no less stinky!…mmmm…nothing beats the great smell of sea-lion in the morning….).

I Went Away On Holiday

…and all I got you…

…was this photo of the sun setting over Taiaroa Head.

Our Lady Of The Dunes

…she’s back…

 

…and sleeping soundly…

…because the pinky blob that is on the grass stuff just below her flipper in the first photo is what’s left of an octopus….

….mmmm…octopus.

…(and her previous visit…

Stingray Stingray Dideda Da Da Daaa

…just spent 10 minutes trying to transcribe the horn stab from the theme tune of the “Stingray” TV show…

…time well spent to introduce these pic’s…

…my good friend Dee burst into the crib claiming sightings of a great sea monster frolicking in the bay and suggesting that I abandon my comfy chair to document said sighting with my camera….

 

…was fascinated by the mouth as, during my stay in the UK, I’d collected a healthy handful of fossilised stingray “teeth” grinder plates from Highcliff beach in Dorset…(must tell you all about that some time)….

…unfortunately he wasn’t particularly alive… and in failing light the clarity of the shots is not the best….

..but a cool find all the same.
