Waihou River: Photo a Week Challenge

Every Tuesday and Wednesday morning I drive along the hills to Paeroa to work at a little cafe in town.  In the afternoons I return to Thames and relax for half an hour before getting ready for work at the restaurant.   For my return trip to Thames I have recently begun taking the straighter roads through the Hauraki Plains.  I like this route because it allows me look at the hills on my way home - particularly when I turn onto State Highway 25 for the final approach into Thames.

Waihou River: 18 April, northwest of Paeroa

 The Waihou River passes through Paeroa, skirts behind Turua, and then meets the ocean in front of Thames.  This photo of the river is taken a short way outside of Paeroa on my return journey to Thames.
