To keep creativity alive it is essential for me to go on adventures to gain visual material,
Walking is an added bonus.
Yesterday I went with my artist/walking/adventure buddy April to Mokai which is her marae.
We went for a tour of her husbands work which is a giant tomato and capsicum growing and packaging business.
Phil gave us a tour and here are the results.
Very impressive operation.
Juicy green tomatoes.
Hanging on the vine looking very colourful
So many capsicums, they come in green, orange and red, according to Phil you can get them in all colours of the rainbow but the more unusual colours are reserved for gourmet market.
How wouls you like the look of a blue Capsicum?
More yellow capsicums
rows and rows and rows

Oh, those photos make my mouth water. When I was a kid Mum and Dad took us on a picnic to Mokai. I remember the horseshoe-shaped village. We ate bacon-and-egg pie and blackberry tart made by Mum. The grass was long and sweet. Mum made a pencil drawing of one of the falling-down cottages and later, I used the image to make cards. Thanks for evoking these memories, Janet.
