Taylors Mistake Beach
Posted by Linerberry (Christchurch, New Zealand) on 8 October 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This beach is about 45 minute walk over the hill from my house. I usually do the circular walk that takes 90 minutes. Can't wait for the weather to warm up...45 mins to the beach, a swim and a soak in the sun, then 45 mins home....bargain:-))
Anthony....can you see why I thought your post on the 30th Sept was similar when I saw the thunbnail ???? http://ant3269.aminus3.com/image/2008-09-30.html
Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
For those of you that don't know the origin of Silly Tuesday here is a bit if a run down....It started on this day. My thoughts were as follows......
Monday is the start of the week...
Wednesday is the middle of the week.....
Thursday is nearly Friday and Friday is the start of the weekend:-)
I know some people work weekends as I am one of them:-)
But its still the weekend BUT......
What is Tuesday???? Its just a Silly Day that means nothing....so thats where ST came from:-)
Join in the Silliness:-)
Love Silly Mama:-)
If you post on ST then leave a link on my page then others get to see your silliness:-)

Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
Very similar shots indeed Liners... I LOVE the vibrant blues and greens in this image, it so looks like an inviting place and I still scratch my head as to why Taylor made the mistake... he must have left it, that would be the only mistake he could make... but you found it and it is a 45 minute walk... now I am green :o), wonderful capture my friend... I know where you will be this summer :o)

Hi Caroline... There is a beach in Scotland that is identical to this one on Colonsay Island - Kiloran Bay, the only difference is there is not grass on the Scottish one.
Fantastic shot

Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
I'm closer to the beach, but my view isn't as spectacular as yours! Great surrounding with the green mountains around the blue bay! Hope is doesn't get too busy when you're going for a swim?

@Monique: Thank you Monique:-) I am close to the beach too but I like to walk up the hill and over the other side to get the view...there is nothing like it! I have to say though I have been to Koh Samui and I loved the beaches there too:-))
Maxine from Rangiora, New Zealand
Stunning color in this one C, Taylors is a favourite beach,even though i have not been there a lot. I did a garden design for a property overlooking it and the view was great.

@Maxine: Thanks Max...we'll have to do the walk one day this summer:-))

This beach has been a favourite of mine ever since we took a school trip here one year and we found lots of little crabs scurrying around under the rocks at the end of the beach. (I was a bit of a tomboy, scampering over rocks and getting grubby was a fabulous way to spend an afternoon back then!). Funnily enough I never went back and have always wondered what it really looked like. I cant see the rocks I remember, but maybe the water level is high and they are covered? What beautiful green rolling hills, just gorgeous. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

@kylie: Glad it brought back good memories my friend:-)

I can certainly see the resemblence liners.Two wonderful places so very far apart.That´s one of the great things on aminus,there are no distances and no borders.The other side of the world is just a mouse click away !!

the grass is a lot greener than it was in Hawkes bay when i was there earlier this year, and the blues in the sea, wow love that, thats what I miss about home in most places its not to far from the sea, and sea as beautiful as this is not something I have seen is such a long time

Margie from Auckland, New Zealand
Thanks to MS for directing me in this direction! Really lovely inviting beach scene, Linerberry. Roll on Summer! One of the great things I love about NZ is that you are never REALLY far from the sea. I think I'd get claustrophobic if I had to live too far from the ocean!
8 Oct 2008 9:16pm
@Margie: Good ole MS, thanks mate:-) Good to meet you margie, wish I could blog watch you but I full up so will try and follow you. Love todays posting:-)

Isn't it sickening having a beautiful beach within walking distance from your home, the mersey will never be the same. LOL Fab shot Liners.
