Autumn in Auckland
A beautiful April Autumn at Point Chevalier in Auckland, some hardy people were still
swimming and some sunbathing. My little granddaughter walked along the beach
with me helping to collect beautiful shells and coloured leaves for
making paintings.
This small beach has sand which is made entirely of course broken shells it is
flanked by old pohutukawa trees. These shed a variety of leaves
perfect for copying, some are bright red and orange, some are beige
and covered in darker spots. There are also some gum trees
which gave us a variety of striped leaves or rainbow leaves
as my five year old companion described them.
This collection was made from leaves in the street where we were staying.
