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.

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

Dusk
The sun had just disappeared behind me when I reached this vantage point on Scenic Drive. The land and city getting ready for the night, the expanse of the Waitemata Harbour, a hint of the Harbout Bridge and the volcanic Rangitoto Island, all under the fading colours of the sky.

Autumn Colours
Huia Road
Officially, winter has already started. But on the first day of winter I was greeted with these beautiful autumn colours as I was driving back from Huia.

The Fog Has Lifted
Looking West
This morning, thick fog moved in from the Manukau Harbour, playing havoc with airline schedules, lifting and reappearing again. Here the view from the walkway between Grendon and Landing Roads as the situation cleared.

Autumnal
Shadows
The mellow sun of the late afternoon casts a shadow of the thinning tulip tree onto the brick wall of The Potters Post (strangely, the sign proclaiming the name of the building seems to have disappeared from the front).

Frosty Morning
Frost
A clear night with frost on the grass in the morning. The forecasters tell us that the fine morning will cloud over and end in rain…

Golden
Ginkgo Carpet
Some of the ginkgo trees are completely bare now, some are still resplendend in gold – leaves covering the lawn.
