Springtime

Spring has arrived in Auckland, with one noticeable feature being the blooming of flowers in Albert Park, which we walk through each day on our way to work. In addition, the fig tree outside our house is starting to get leaves, and the peach tree is starting to get flowers. Why it wants flowers before leaves I don't fully understand, but then I'm not a botanist.





This fern wasn't in Albert Park, but on a hike we did at Muriwai last weekend. Very New Zealand...
