Rams

We had a good walk around our block last month - the first time since the start of winter. I took lots of snaps of spring arriving and will post them over the coming days.

Red sky at night

Off the back of a truck

We found this beauty at the side of the road during what was probably the last ever inorganic collection. It's in the shed for now but we have plans to use it as an entertainment centre once the rumpus room is fully fitted out...

Plum blossom

Keeping my fingers crossed for a bumper crop of plums this year...

Puriri Tree

The other treat that the arborist gave us was identifying this tree. I hadn't realised that it was a native - a puriri tree - as it's planted alongside magnolias and other exotic species. The berries are loved by kereru - the native pigeon - and puriri moths make their homes in the trunks and branches of this tree. A great addition to our landscape.
