More seashore and weather related weather thrills

 I biked down to the seashore to harvest some pipis (clams) but I missed the best low tide. So I took a long walk along the beach collecting seashells and encountered these young women training their horses in the sea surf for a variety of dressage skills. They eventually got the horses comfortable with being chest deep in the water. While they were in the surf this fishing boat was launched from its trailer by a tractor.



For me, a new personal record of siting seven rainbows in two days, mostly while I was on the train going and coming back along the seacoast. This one was just when I got off the train in Waikanae.
The next morning I found out that my mother had a heart attack and had spent the last two days in the hospital where they found the problem in an artery next to her heart and put a long stint in to open it up again. I got lucky and caught my mom and dad on the computer this morning and was able to Skype them for about a half hour. She is really doing much better and they both sound good at this point.
