I'm a bit slack, I know. But I did take a camera the other day...
Pahurehure (pronounced pa hoory hoory) Inlet is an easy walk from here. Our suburb is made up of small streets, closes, places, groves and most have wide green spaces between the streets. This link might interest some of you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conifer_Grove#Facilities
And here are some of my photos. Did I manage to get a pic of a tui? Of course not! But we heard them, high in the trees.
The jetty
Not sure whether planted or fly-tipped,but birds love them.
A back lane, behind our house.
Trachelospermum jasminoides
and this
Well, don't you live in a lovely green neighbourhood! That pohutukawa tree is quite something, and I love the possibly-fly-tipped area.
ReplyDeleteBut, Sporran - oh, no! I'm sorry, Dinah. It's turning into quite the season, what with Peenee's Octavia, Maddie's Buster, and now your poor Sporran. Big hugs x
RIP, Sporran. At least you'll be interred in some lovely surroundings... Jx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read about Sporran.
ReplyDeleteI did have a very blue Hydrangea when I lived in Leigh-on-Sea, but I haven't seen many since - I will keep an eye out.
Your new home looks lush and green!

I am sorry to learn that Sporran died, mein Beileid.
ReplyDeleteThe flora looks nice and peaceful, I hope the fauna is too.
Thank you, everyone, for all the kind words.
ReplyDeleteLovely surroundings. My mother loved Hydrangeas and had a kind of easy familiarity with the ones she grew and addressed them as "Hydrange my pet". I'm sure it affected their growth as they were enormous.

Welcome aboard, WWW. The hydrangeas of my childhood were all blue, but the soil around this place is clearly pink-favoured!
ReplyDeleteOh no, Sporran. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you "Steve"
ReplyDeleteThat jetty!! I’d love to sit there all day just staring at the water.
