Sunrise and kite flying in Auckland
After all the rain, Auckland presented us with an awesome sunshine day last Sunday. The pictures that follow shows Auckland in sunshine glory and "Big boys' kite flying day" at Bastion Point

"Feathers" in the sun
Not too sure if this is the Toetoe, which is the Maori name for New Zealand's

is considered a pest in New Zealand

If there's one thing New Zealand has a lot of is open spaces and wind, making
it ideal for kite flying.
Now, if we can only get it to fly ...
