Herbertville is a special place, there is always something new to see, with its stunning scenery, dunes, hills and long sandy beach. It is a little bit of paradise, tucked away in the Tararua District. The high tide and river, created this amazing scene.
I saw these sunflowers standing tall at the side of the road.
I decided to go for a drive the other day, with no particular destination in mind. I stopped on the road above the gorge and took these photos.
We have had a few stunning sunsets over the last couple of weeks. The clouds really add some character to them.
I love the way the colours and light meld into each other and the way the clouds float around the wind turbines.
You can often hear these bird but they can be very hard to spot, I was very lucky to see this one in the Ashhurst Domain. If you would like to find out more about the Shining Cuckoo visit: New Zealand Birds online 
I saw these dogs at the beach, they were waiting for the waves to come in then, they would run and chase them. Fun was the name of the game.
