Titahi Bay walk

On the 4th of January we decided to go for a walk. Since Brains has his learner license Boar got him to drive us there. A while ago I'd walked to the right of the entry to the beach. You don't get far past the boat sheds when you come to a wall. However there is a track and also you can walk around the rocks a wee way before you hit water.

Looking between the point on the left and Mana Island on the right you can just see a smudge of the sounds in the distance. Not so clear as some days.

It's a pretty sheer  rock face although has quite a bit growing on it. The tide must come right up to the greenery as there is a lot of driftwood there.

It continues on for quite a way but I wasn't game to go through the water or scramble round the rocks.

Lots of little pools with seaweeds in them.

Brains walked out a fair distance

Boar, Brains and Locket had a good look in the rock pools.

I was intrigued by the formations on this rock

A lot of different plants growing between the rocks. Must be tough as they survive the tide washing over them!

A different plant with sweet wee flowers.

Some big waves must have deposited this log here.

More seaweeds

Someone enjoyed a feed of mussels!

Precariously poised rocks.

A bigger rock pool

I wonder if it was the waves constantly coming in that eroded the rocks in these almost straight lines!

The art you see if you look up!

A close up because it really amused me. looks a bit like a sheep with wonky horns  :)
