Photo Friday! (lemmy.nz)
submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi everyone, can we do a Photo Friday?

@[email protected] used to post them, but I haven't seen them for ages and @[email protected] said it'd be okay.

Theme: Something you like!

Rules: no NSFW and has to be a snap you took yourself.

I couldn't find any recent photos I've taken that I would describe as "Something I like", but I guess I don't not like giraffes? Have some giraffes.

I love giraffes!! Awesome photo too! I haven't been that close to them in years!

Ooh I just noticed the baby is in the background, too!

Nice photo! Is it yours? (the mandarin (?) tree)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Tangelos! It doesn't belong to me but it's where I live. The tree is about 40 years old, we eat it and some of the windfall gets repurposed as bird feed.

Nice! It looks amazing, so much fruit!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Yes unusually big yield, I hope it's not because there's something wrong with it! I must get under it with some candle wax and look for borer.

Rode up a steep hill and found a decent bit of weather this morning. And a rainbow down the other side, too.

That's really pretty. What beach were you at?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Karioitahi beach, right on the boundary between Auckland and Waikato.

Christmas 2023 on Lake Taupo

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Amazing sky! I've never sailed on a lake, is it much different in feel to the sea?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Thanks! Depends significantly on the lake (size, surrounding terrain etc). Taupo can be pretty unpredictable. You’ll have no wind at all and then all of a sudden be on your side. Beautiful though and great swimming. Highly recommend!

P.S. I have also sailed very different boats in lakes vs. sea so that’s another factor to counter in.
