‘Summer = Lawn Bowls!’
…i have been a bit absent from my blog of late, as this beautiful sport has been consuming my spare time.
the sun is out, and the competitive lawn bowls season is well underway.
practice, play, practice, play, do it all over again- in the never ending search for the perfect game!
that is actually me in the photo (taken a couple of weeks ago). for once the subject, not the picture taker!…
‘On The Beach II’
…ready to recline….
‘Ponder Your Next Move’
…the answer is never black and white…
‘Three Bowls’
…not the sort you eat from. these are my lawn bowls, well, three of a set of four anyway.
peak bowling season is past, but with synthetic surfaces one can play all year round.
not just a pastime or a sport, lawn bowls is a passion for me.
great people, great fun!
accuracy, an arc.
it’s all just a curve in a square…
‘Lone Swimmer’
…just waves and ripples for company…
‘Whangamata III’
…a family play in the sand on Whangamata’s ocean page, next to a swim flag…
‘The Fishermen’
…trying their luck with rod and line…
‘Two Kites Flying’
…if there’s one thing better than flying your kite, it’s flying two of them…
‘Relax! II’
…just sand, sea and sky, with time idly passing by…
‘Beach Mansion’
…well, okay, probably more a hut made from driftwood and rope than a mansion.
not pricey, but certainly priceless – what a place to be!…
‘Water Sliding II’
…slip slide away, if you have a mat or a raft handy – a natural adventure ride is to be had…
‘Hit The Surf’
‘Relax!’
…it would be rude not to…
‘The Fisher King II’
From the wharf
lines will dangle
catch a fish
or get caught in a tangle!
‘Seaside Scene VII’
…a ball in motion, caught mid-air flotation…
‘Boardwalk And Beach’ St.Heliers Bay, Auckland 7/20
…promenade and play, on a sunlit winter’s day…
