A White...
……………....…..…Boxing Day
A hail storm battered Motueka, NZ, this afternoon.
At a glance, it looks like snow, but in reality we are mid-summer and we should be enjoying hot sunny weather!
Take a look at the leaves on the hosta plant to the left of the gate - this morning it was a very healthy plant with layers of leaves. Other plants in the garden have been stripped and tomorrow once all the ice has melted I’m sure I will fine even more damage.
Hail can cause devastating damage and no doubt there has been damage to local apple and kiwifruit orchards, vineyards and berry crops.
I have added a triptych in extra showing other views of the garden.
Thank you for your response to yesterday’s Christmas Day blip and for taking the time to check out the Backblip I uploaded this morning.
