I promised spring photos last week, but I made you wait, so I apologise. Our oak tree exploded from a bare tree one weekend with only one or two new leaves, to full coverage by the end of the week. Of course, now it’s even further on than the photo below, but I’m too lazy to go downstairs and take a new one!
I managed to catch some of the tulips and other flowers in the city gardens with my camera, along with families, tourists, and lots of elderly visitors enjoying the colours.
The spring flowers in my in-laws garden are blooming too, so I took some quick photos there too.
The young tui* have been torturing me in the oak tree, sitting there chirping and chatting away, but as soon as I get close with my camera, they fly away.
Finally, warmer temperatures are alternately battling with some last-ditch efforts by winter. It’s that awkward time of year when we don’t know what to wear, and whatever I choose is bound to be wrong.
* As I can’t tell Grammarly, I’ll remind you. Tui is a Maori word, and so doesn’t have an “s” to pluralise it.
Gorgeous photos! I particularly love the lovers feomnyour in-laws garden. The pink ones with the yellow in the middle are so unique!

Oh my lord, what a colorful and bountiful garden.
How weird is it that while you are seeing spring colors and wondering if you can shed some layers yet, we are seeing fall colors and wondering if we need to bundle up yet.
