A face in the sand at Foxton
I took the photo as proof, ran back to my car and got outa there fast. Anything can happen at Foxton.
What you are looking at is the steep bank of sand beside the river where the sand hills end, just before you reach the actual beach at Foxton. I took some photos of the bank just because I thought the patterns and textures of the sand were like a work of art. Then when I got home I noticed that there was a suggestion of a face or 2 in the pattern. So I added the eyes of my cat and dragged the sand to enhance the shape of the mouth or tongue. Then finally I dragged some of the ripples in the sand to make it all a bit weirder. The sharper and more contrasty horizontal pattern near the top is where the steep bank levelled off to the top of the sand hill.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
