Maori art at airport

  on the way to passport checks

  Catholic church in Warkworth; meant to light a candle for Babchie but they didn't have any so said a prayer at the virgin Mary.

  Sandra, she picked me up at the airport.

  Many places have fun intersections and this is Warkworth's.

  Keren, I tagged along as she ran some errands.

  Keren found a field of yellow flowers...daffodils

  They were also around the trees.

  One type of table at the Sawmill Cafe.

  Sandra contemplating the menu.

  Decorations at the Sawmill Cafe.

  My room from the outside; just finished unpacking.

  Rooms and offices. 

  The seminar room, teaching lab, offices, and library from the side closes to the water.  Those large white tanks are dump tanks. 

  One of the Saturday markets...I call it the red barn market.  It is between Leigh and Matakana.

  You can find all sorts of arts & crafts here, to include clothing and wood working.  There are also plants, baked goods, fruits, and veggies. 

  This is the other market that I frequent on Saturdays.  It is in Matakana.

  This is where you walk in.  Foods are the main thing at this market.  There is always music too.

  Its set up in a square and on the far side is a stream. 

  The seagulls are made my a local man and he sells different ones at the red barn market, he also makes other birds and woodcrafts.

  Along the road back to the lab Cadda lilies are growing.

  Entering the lab area.

  Pass the dive cage and lower tank room on my way back from markets.

   Treated myself to a morning glory muffin from the pop in patisserie in Matakan.

  Snow drops along driveways...sort of look like Lilly of the vally...I think the leaves are narrower on snow drops.
