I never thought much about weather in Kansas, but I have had an enormous education on the subject since moving to New Zealand. In Kansas, the weather seemed to hang on for a few days but here it can change from hour to hour. I have learned that coastal areas take longer to change because of the water temperature. That's one reason why these autumn leaves are hanging on even when the calendar says it's winter. This shot was taken in Pukekura Park in New Plymouth--a coastal town.
Beautiful place. As with the image of the Impressionists.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture or a beautiful place. I haven't been there for years but it's on my to-go-to-again list. :-)

Just lovely - and looks so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty scene. Yes. On my Mornington Peninsula, my liquidamber tree is still hanging on to Autumn leaves. They add colour to cold grey days, so I'm not complaining.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene!
ReplyDeleteweird to see autumns leaves on a tree next to a tropical tree!!
ReplyDeletenice shot!!
Hi Betty,
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting shot. I love the palms, and of course, the blue sky. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Blue Monday!
Like seeing the lovely stubborn leaves. Interesting red bridge.

It's summer here. Yay!
ReplyDeleteSuch vibrant color differences--quite striking. I'm a Kansas girl and our weather has been a crazy the past few years. Our heat is reaching the 90's this week-summer has arrived.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo...great for Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the red bridge, it looks almost hidden and it even has a reflection on the water.
ReplyDeletewow gorgeous place :) I would love to spend time there.
ReplyDeleteI've had a dream to see New Zealand for many years. I hope that will happen, but if it doesn't, I'll enjoy your blog all the more :) Wonderful pictures! Thank you for sharing them. I had wondered why the Autumn leaves seem to hang on, here in Vancouver, and now have an answer.
ReplyDeleteI am enamoured of the gorgeous red bridge, and beautiful water and tropical trees. I would love to visit New Zealand someday too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall scene!
ReplyDeleteit so interesting to see what i think of as a tropical tree right up next to what i think of as a moderate tempt tree... great shot.
