Photo Friday!

Hi everyone, can we do a Photo Friday?

@sortofblue@lemmy.nz used to post them, but I haven't seen them for ages and @Dave@lemmy.nz 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!
- Beautiful! Really captures the feeling.
- Nice!
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?
  
  Karioitahi beach, right on the boundary between Auckland and Waikato.
Christmas 2023 on Lake Taupo
- Amazing sky! I've never sailed on a lake, is it much different in feel to the sea?
  
  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.
Here's mine:
- Nice
- Nice photo! Is it yours? (the mandarin (?) tree)
  
  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.
