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.

With few flowers surviving the wind and rain here, these blossom are also my #fridayflowers

Art play … or is it therapy? Image; Su Leslie 2020
Not here today #2
My mum and I celebrate our birthdays three days apart, and in 2013 we gifted ourselves a wee road trip to the England’s north east.
Antony Gormley’s Angel had been on my must-see list since it was first installed, and close up it is so impressive.
I’m not sure when (if) my mum and I will have another road trip, so this is a memory to cherish.
Last photo, July 2020
Brian, at Bushboy’s World had the great idea of posting the last photo of each month from his SD card and phone. He offers no explanation and does no editing.
Lots of us have joined in, sharing our own last photos — though in my case only from my DSLR as I seldom use my phone camera.
Here’s what to do if you’d like to join in as well:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for July 2020.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to Brian’s post or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”
Who cares that it’s raining outside

On the basis that I can only improve— getting ready for my self-declared Arty August project.
Art gallery chair: exhibit or furniture?
