Blossom, Havelock North town centre. Image: Su Leslie 2018
Thinking ahead to spring, and some warmer, if not drier weather.
A couple of years ago we visited Havelock North in Hawkes Bay. The pretty town centre was planted with dozens of trees, all in blossom.
Bing Dawe’s sculpture is one of three in the town, which draw attention to the loss of wetlands and consequently the life that depends on it.

Lovely photos from two years ago. I like the cherry blossom stuck between the two fish.

Beautiful. My magnolia blooms have been smashed by rain, wind and hail. 😦 They were briefly gorgeous.

Ours barely made it to gorgeous this year. They went from bud to slush almost overnight

Beautiful blossoms! And what a sculpture! I like it when sculptures draw attention to environmental problems- makes people think twice!
