colorful rosebuds caught at the window
Last year, there were very few roses on the bush outside the window--and that was just one or two little blooms at a time. So when I noticed several buds and a huge blossom I had to go out to investigate. I found quite a few buds colored with pink tint and was so excited about them!
Over the next few days, the roses just burst open.

Hikurangi Garden, Okato
Our first stop of the Taranaki Fringe Garden Festival was in Okato and belonged to Barbara Williams who has owned it for over 60 years. We were greeted by Wendy, the gardener, who has maintained these gardens for over 15 years.
The paths were immaculate and you could tell that each and every leaf and blossom of the garden were tended with lots of love.
Below is a horizontal elm, quite a sight to see.
It was so colorful and well-established; Hubby and I spent a lot of time wandering around the 7 acres of scenery taking photos.
These photos are from the woolshed. According to Mrs Williams' daughter, if you turned on the electricity, it would be ready to shear sheep.
Thanks, Wendy! Your gardening skills prove that you love what you do!

pink algae
I found these in my archives--it's rainy and cold so I'm stuck indoors.
I noticed this pink color between the rocks at Opunake beach. I didn't touch it but it appeared to be pink algae. It looks pretty cool!

it's officially summer!
The seasons in New Zealand have been simplified and it makes perfect sense, since the weather is always unpredictable. Click here for more details.
