Farmers Market

Every Wednesday.

And to the right from yesterdays, and now looking at Tahunanui back beach at right side.

Pan to the right from yesterday's shot and this is looking at the Nelson Airport.

View From Water Tower 1/4

The step to the top of water tower was not there any more and this is from front of it.  I was looking towards Richmond.

For the Miners

Their families, friends, police, rescue and emergency workers, clergy and other support service staff, the town of Greymouth, New Zealand, and around the world.

Every Last One...

Among the flowers in our garden this year, I love my dark blue delphiniums, and the darker the flowers the better. When they grown in our own place, I can't throw away any part of them, so the smaller stalks have been bunched into a small vase. And I noticed the loveliness of the curves I hadn't seen before. Bliss.

First Harvest

Almost two months ago I bought 4 baby strawberry plants, but they were growing so slowly I got a bigger one and plonked that in the middle of the same tub.  Even that one is growing tentatively, so I think Ben and I have to move the tub to a slightly sunnier spot in our not-very-sunny garden.

Anyway, we had our first harvest this morning.  Not very sweet, but fresh and a little tangy.  The longer one measured just a little shorter than 2cm.

Sunset (Saturday)

For sky wachers and sunset lovers.

Changes

This sort of thing happens all the time, but I'm feeling a tad nostalgic.  For as long as we know this was the Air New Zealand coner; back in 1992 when we visited New Zealand the first time, we confirmed our return flight home in their office that used to be here.  (Then we drove to Picton, took a tiny hydroplane to the Kapiti Coast, then flew on Mt Cook Airlines, we think, to Auckland.)

Recently they relocated, and one of the very few wholly New-Zealand-Owned banks moved in.  And good for them.  

Good Boy

Someone remembers Mum telling him not to bring dirt into the house.

Haze 2

I hope you can see the mountain in back and water in front.

Haze

Very hot day.  I wonder how those golfers are doing.  It's all hazy over the water...  Yesterday 6:53pm.

Sunrise

Maybe just slightly exaggerated in colour but the cloud was very interesting.
