Purple everywhere

Summer is the season when all of the Jacaranda trees around town are out in full flower. At the moment there is purple everywhere. This one is outside the vet centre.

 And this one is on the corner of one of the main roads in town outside an engineering business. Aren't they pretty?

Linking up with All Seasons.

Signs of Summer - Purple gazanias at Te Arai

These little flowers are so vibrant and they line the sandy coastal areas around here making a bright show of colour. Love them!

Winter is here but there's still plenty of colour!

Another storm swept through here over the weekend swamping already soggy regions around Northland. Seems we got a respite Sunday morning because I was able to get out for a walk to the surf beach. On the way it was nice to see some colour in the form of this pink heather in someone's garden.

This one is Mangawhai estuary viewed from Wintle Street - stormy skies still but the water looking much calmer than it probably had been the night before. Think we definitely need some sun to dry out the land here.
