And for the blue, I give you the green from last year (lost to frost, sadly).

A lot of unfolding in the garden at the moment...

Capture: April Come She Will, in reply to JacksonP,
Nice shot, Jackson. I like the iPhone's panorama mode - it lets you get a really nice wide-angle feel to landscapes - lots of sky/foreground.

If we're going to do the autumn seaside, here's something I shot a couple of weeks ago at Waikuku. Strange Geometries (iPhone 5S in panorama mode)

Good to have you back on the climate beat, Dave.
Ian/Martin: The problem is that the present government long ago decided that climate change was a foreign policy problem, and that the best course of action - that is, the course of least aggravation for their supporters - would be to pay only lip service to emissions reductions. Hence we have an emissions trading scheme that has had zero impact on domestic emissions.
At the same time, because this view is really only tenable if you believe that the impacts of climate change are either not going to be too bad, or only for some distant future, you have no incentive to address the really difficult policy decisions associated with adapting to present and future changes.
Can you really just leave dealing with the impacts of sea level rise on coastal property (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin etc) to the insurance market, or should we be doing some serious planning for how to cope? Like not rebuilding a major city on ground that will almost certainly be returning to the sea over the next 100 years...
