Nature's Evening Hat Trick

The setting sun put on an amazing display this evening - a rainbow, pink tinged snow and a brilliant sunset. 

Mid Winter 2018

Oops, found this in my drafts folder and I had forgotten to publish it. Better late than never. Some cheery things from mid-winter:

A few of the surprising number & variety of flowers in the garden

Decorating the Wellington Cable Car for the Rainbow Storytelling school holiday event.

The rainbow lights in the tunnels were gorgeous.

Planets visible in the clear night sky from my house. True they look like bright stars with the naked eye, although Mars has an orange tinge. Skyview app helpfully identifies them all. From left (west) to right (east): Mercury (disappears first), Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars.
