A Sign of Spring?

First blossom of the year on the almond tree.

It is missing a petal, but it is definitely a blossom. There are many more swelling up behind it.

Day Trip

Fountain in the middle of Gisborne, with the "Olde Time Market" in the background.

Walking at Dusk

The flowers on a male sheoak street tree look a bit like fireworks in the camera flash.

Colour

Fantastic bark on Acer palamatum 'Senkaki' trees at Plantmark today.

Colour

Warm colours of the remaining grape leaves, although the day is cold.

Last Seam

This afternoon I went to a quilting bee, (or more accurately, a piecing bee) and I had the fun of sewing the last seam to turn all the blocks into one big piece.

A border will be added later, but it was great to get all the blocks and bits together.

Heading Home

Here come the dogs!

All clean and beautiful after their stay at the kennels.
