I googled the title of this image and was satisfied to learn there is no existing English word to match its meaning. I needed a new one anyway, to bear the significance of this symbolic scene on a moody spring day. My ‘surffragettes’ are heading home as the fun is pretty much over for the day, regardless of what your intentions may be, wetsuit or not, an outcome determined by the stormy and fast approaching South Island clouds. Not something to loose any sleep over these days, there will always be tomorrow. And this beautiful sight is about that long journey from social irrelevance to the exercise in unrestricted freedom, which is what a morning on the waves is, a path much lengthier than a daily trip from a holiday house to the froth laden pacific beach. A long voyage indeed. Take a moment to remember the ones who are still trying to make it.
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. Franz Kafka (1883-1924)

Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out. James Bryant Conant (1893 − 1978)
This is the wonderful Kapiti (Pronounced Cahpeetee) Island beach on Paraparaumu Beach. I visited my home town in the weekend to visit my family and had a very nice time there. Didn’t take many photos so this is just a quick shot of the beach front looking out to Kapiti Island.
