Cherry tomatoes. Whereas the former lot are green and will be red, these are almost white. I am curious what colour they will be when ripe. #urbanforaging #65 #vscocam

Away from the splash pool, the water runs past a rocky beach. Can you see the people? The boardwalk ends at a viewing platform. In order to access the beach, one has to climb over the railing, edge across a dirt bank and down a ten metre scree slope. Not difficult but challenging to the elderly, the kids and the overweight. Why don't they just extend the boardwalk to the beach? #vscocam #vsco_club

The splash pool is a deep ultramarine blue. The force of the water creates waves which break on the shore in white foam. #vscocam #vsco_club

Hip from a rugosa rose. Later in the season, they would cover the bush, but I couldn't wait to show you. Rose hips can be made into jams. This one I ate fresh and it was sweet and tart like a cherry #urbanforaging #53 #vscocam #vsco_club

I am stumped on what this could be. It smells like thyme but looks like winter savoury and the white flowers are not thyme like. Can someone elucidate? #urbanforaging #50 #vscocam
