A Moment of Light photography by Carl Street

Well here we are almost a week into the new year and I've finally got round to creating the last journal entry for 2019. I've become very involved in playing lawn bowls which took up the first three days of this year, hence the delay. Hopefully I'll continue to improve and somehow find some time to get out and take photos as well ;-).

The end of 2019 would most definitely be described as wet with seemingly endless days of grey cloud covered skies. If I was still in England I would have thought it was perfect winter weather ready for Christmas but not quite what we were expecting for our few weeks in Queenstown. We have a very fortunate lifestyle which means we will continue to be outside and enjoy the weather when it eventually improves but I do feel really sorry for those families who were hoping for much better weather on their summer break.

The start of the new year is likely to be full of bowls tournaments and work with the local iSite centre and museum but I'll do my best to fit in some time with the camera too :-). Until then here is this months collection.

Our garden has a large collection of flax plants which, for reasons best known to themselves, have all flowered this year. This has given the local bird and insect life plenty of food to enjoy. In return they get to move the pollen around.
