Welcome to Thursday! It’s a beautiful day to walk the dog in Havelock North, New Zealand!
I took Rodeo our fox terrier puppy out for a walk this morning, in the neighbourhood. It is such a beautiful spring day, the sun is shining and the birds are amazing. I wish I could record all the native tui lovely melody, with their loud flapping wings. We saw some quails and native wood pigeons.
These native Pohutukawa trees are everywhere. Love their red flowers!

These large palm trees are amazing. Our native wood pigeons love to live in these. The tree across the road from us must have about 20 of them living in it – it’s very noisy!
Back home checking out the garden and the weeds!
This is a beautiful bramble white rose in my garden. It is so large that it’s held up by old wooden support structures.
Look at this beautiful rose
Native flax flowers can be yellow, red or orange
Tui on the native flax, see my previous post about them in our garden here
Thunder, Lightening and Hail
I have to laugh we had such a lovely walk and now as I type this post up the weather has changed dramatically. There is thunder and lightening outside, we probably only get this about 5 times a year in our area. It is also hailing!
Hail on our deck
I am sure it won’t last long and the sun will come out again. It will be back to being a beautiful day. Have a wonderful Thursday!
