<p>Happy (almost) New Year!<br>

Hi Folks.</p>

<p>I'm traveling today so I have to keep this brief. I'm in Toronto waiting for the family to get out of bed. Meantime I thought I'd get POTW rolling with yet ANOTHER New Zealand image (boy, am I ever lazy!)<br>

This was shot on the North Island, Hokinga Harbour.<br>

<p>Santa was good to me this year, not sure about his evil cousin the bill collector... <br>

<p>An audience of ducks !<br>

These ducks love my voice, then again they could have been hungry ? </p><div></div>

<p>Not ready for prime time.<br>

Due to the nearby water plant this lakes does not freeze until January when temperatures dip to -20 at night.</p><div></div>
