We Dream of Roma

Every summer a local grower/veg shop allows us to pick our own tomatoes, and other veg; this year we were allowed into the tom patch after Waitangi Day but we didn't get there until yesterday. We picked about 25kg of Roma for slow roasting, but may have to go back, as last year a friend taught us about cauliflower pizza base and 16kg didn't last us a month as we had night after night of vegetarian pizza.  

Evening Sun

Taken last evening at Aniseed Valley.

End of January, 2020

Last night the last day of January,

Again, it was colorful and spectacular sunset. 

Sunset

Sunset on last night, quite spectacular show again.

According to weather news, there is small effect of Australia bush fire smoke across Tasman. This time it largely covered north island and top of sooth where I'm at. 

It wasn't obvious to me like last time ..





About minuets later see the effect of smoke on top half side little more, where it usually get little more blue shade on when sun goes down. 

Happy New Year and Kia Kaha to OZ friends.

Holiday Break

End of 2019...  Hopefully we can post little more often in 2020. 

Find this is restrant window in CBD,  I found quite interesting and photogenic. 

Bay View

Another hot day, Happy holiday season!

Summer Day

At river side walkway.  It's a hot day but feels refreshing.

Sunset last night

Rather spectacular where usually too bright to take picture or look at.  
This is possibly an effect of massive bush fire in Australia.

Cherry Blossom

This is our second tree whcih somewhat start with leaves first but give us large spectacular blossom.    Getting worm around Nelson and  Arts Fastival is on! 

Spring

Getting warmer, feel the difference, but we still have slow cap on top of mountain.

Chilly

Snow clouds moving every second. It's chilly but not cold; the wood burner burned so well last night inside is a balmy 14C.

And we grew a mountain overnight. The tallest gray bit is clouds. As far as I know.
