Auckland Promenade and North Head at Devonport

Walking along Auckland Bay on a cloudy spring day.

There are countless beautiful boats moored in the harbor, many are for sale.

This quaint seaside café doesn’t display the real coastal feeling due to my poor photography.

The colorful sailboats make it feel like a holiday.

New blooms appear on the hedges surrounding our apartment complex.

Rick stands by the big guns on North Head Peak.

A portion of the military bunker remains.

The view is spectacular.

Rick enjoys examining these areas of defense.  We gain a new appreciation for those who defend our country.

The military location is breathtaking in its strategically placed perch along the bay.

Underground.

Irene Rytting and I share October birthdays. 

Sister Sherrie Smith created this magnificent cake.  I didn’t want to cut such a beautiful dessert.  Sherrie bakes by profession.  Her culinary masterpieces grace many special events related to her service in Auckland.  This chocolate raspberry special was a feast for the eyes and the palate.
