Mount Fyffe, Kaikoura, NZ

Some more photos of Kaikoura to add to this site. This time I thought Mt.Fyffe would be a little change from the usual and have found some great web sites to give you more info if you want...

If you're interested in looking at other photos from Nelson, Blenheim, Picton, or photos from Hawkes Bay or Wellington - then please visit my PHOTOBLOG site...

Kaikoura Pohutukawa flowers




The Pohutukawa -
with masses of brilliant crimson to deep red flowers at Christmas time, is known as the New Zealand Christmas tree.

Today I'm feeling a little 'festive' so have added these blooms to this blog.

This Pohutukawa pic is from a tree at the beach in Kaikoura.

Looking through the trunks of the Pohutukawa trees to the Kaikoura vista beyond. I remember this day well - the smell of the ocean, the warmth of late afternoon summer sun...
The thought of going there became a nice memory...
'Enough poetry'
