Morning at the Fieldays
Frosty Morning
Last Thursday I visited the Fieldays at Mystery Creek, Hamilton – the mist was still hanging around the valleys at the starting time of 8 a.m., and the grass was covered in frost. The start to a wonderfully sunny morning where I learnt that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in a townie’s mind… (with apologies).
The NZ Agricultural Fieldays 2017 took place from 14 to 17 June. It is a big agricultural show with international participation, attracting about 130,000 visitors.

In Your Face
Blue
You can’t overlook it in its blue glory: going south along Richardson Road, the intersection with Stoddard Road is dominated by this shade of blue, and then you realise, it is the “Dental Square” (SDS for Stoddard Dental Square). Make a statement!

The Leaf
One of the last leaves on a weeping cherry in our neighbourhood — backlit with many raindrops in the network of twigs.

Te Whitinga (The Crossing) is the name of this new bridge for pedestrians and cyclists. It connects Kukuwai Park and Alan Wood Reserve and will be opened soon. It spans State Highway 20 and the Oakley Creek.
We showed different views at earlier stages of construction here and here.
