Though is seems mundane, this is the typical countryside across the north island. Lots of green grass, rolling hills and grazing sheep and cows.

AND, for the first time this year we saw those traditional and acclaimed birds from the USA: turkeys!

These are all Robin's photos. Not only can I NOT find my pictures, but being a professional photographer, his are better.

I liked what he did with this man fishing in the surf. I just hope he catches some fish after being out there close to the big waves.

We visited some sand dunes way up in the northern island. Quite interesting, don't you think?

These photos I took in Auckland, but I wasn't in the water with these fish!! Now you have to figure it out! That's a clown triggerfish on left and a false clown anemonefish on the right

I hope you think these are fun!! (I do!)

On the left is a goldring bristletooth.

Copper-banded butterflyfish (beaked) (Chelmon rostratus) on the right. We saw these in pairs.

OK! No more teasing you with these cute guys!

On the left, a picassofish (Rhinecanthus aculeatus) and on the right, another butterflyfish.
