It’s the time of the year (Summer) when the Pōhutukawa trees (also called New Zealand Christmas Trees) begin to bloom. Most bloom brilliant red flowers but this gorgeous beast blooms bright yellow.
This is how it looked this afternoon. 💛

For context of my earlier video: this is a panoramic shot taken from the same spot.
It’s at a headlands where the sandy beaches to the south become rocky up against the cliffs.
This is falling middle tide, so at higher tide the ocean comes right up and crashes against the cliffs.

The beach was rainy and overcast, so I opted for a morning sit in our sunroom, looking out over the front (native plant) garden, listening to the warm Spring rain, and the manu pango and the Tūī.
