Random scenes

During this time of Covid, I have been avoiding travel, therefore, I've been publishing posts that show my 'local' scenes and subjects.  This will continue for a while yet.  

I'll get back to exploring at some point, I promise.  

Today's post is a random look around our village, and up into the sky of course.

A closer detail of the same.




Did you know that bananas grew this way? 




When I did the swallows post recently, I mentioned the Potting Shed.  It's not really a shed at all, but the area beneath our outdoor café seating/barbeque area.  It's quite large. 

Lots of work is done there. Seedlings get started, and harvested vegetables are prepared for the residents and refrigerated. There are also lots of what may look like clutter, but is actually gardening projects in process.

A tree (trees?) in a park nearby. 


I pass this spot when I walk a trail along the lower Opanuku Stream. 

Well, that's it for today.  I hope that you enjoyed seeing another tiny bit of our world.     -djf

  1. Love these random pictures! The range from more-or-less mundane everyday things you see to the little more exotic really keep things interesting - and it's good you've never lost interest in sharing your pictures.

    I think the heron picture is really spectacular - I thought at first it was some really cool looking fossil.

    And the bananas look spectacular as they emerge from the flowers!

    Love your spot on the lower Opanuku! Makes me dream of summer...

  2. I loved the pictures. The pink flower (5th picture from the top) was my favorite. That potting shed area is really impressive. I know that Jeanne has spent a lot of time there. Your place is SOO lucky to have Jeanne for the gardens. McKenzie

  3. Yes, that is true.
    Dave is the guy that probably spends the most time there. He is the one that oversees the hydroponics and also starts the seedlings that Jeanne eventually plants into the various community plots. There are lots of other people too.
