Yet another day at the beach...Army Bay Beach.

When I started to put together the first part of the Army Bay Beach posts, I didn't intend to do three segments. After showing you the first two however, I realized that I still had some nice pictures that I wanted to share. 

Today therefore, is the third (and last) installment of beach pictures. I hope that you're not tired of looking at beautiful scenery. 




The rocky shoreline means it's fairly slow going as you walk. 

It seems as though there are always people fishing at some point along the shore, but I haven't seen many fish caught. 


I love looking at this. Colors and textures, animate and inanimate
My advice is to use your zoom on some of  these. 

"Today's show is brought to you by the letter, E."


Tiny channels wind through the rocks and everywhere, the sea snails explore.If a person were shipwrecked on this beach, these snails might be important. They are tiny, but they are everywhere. There must  be at least hundreds of thousands of them in the area I have covered today.  


Have you spotted the village?
No, this is not one of Arram's creations. Some other kid left it behind. 

Even the driftwood here is impressive

Heading home, sigh.
Army Bay Beach is on a peninsula, which is only about 1/2 kilometer wide where ABB is located.  This is over looking  the other side of the peninsula.  As we make our way homeward, we can sometimes see water on both sides of us at the same time since the road follows the ridgeline for the most part.   -djf

  1. Not tired of looking at your beach pictures! your cover picture looks like some exotic gourmet meal: green jelly fingers and tender baby snails with a side of fluffy tan stuff anyone?

    I really like that parched driftwood tree and wonderful little stone village someone made. Both are quite incredible works of art! along with the beach itself.

    Thanks for sharing!

  2. I loved the pictures. They are so vivid that you can feel them. I especially love the warmth of the sun and the blue of the ocean. Oh, and the white of the driftwood tree. At this time of year, I love see the beauty of Spring/Summer in New Zealand. Thank you for sharing them.
