beach art

The girls and I spent a happy couple of hours at Maori Bay this afternoon. After a brief and invigorating swim in the surf they busily built sand castles with the black ironsand, decorated with shells and feathers scavenged from the edge of high tide. I discovered this photo taken by Talya of her art work when I was downloading today's images from the camera (taken while I was having one last dunk in the sea). I thought it was rather well done!
