Golden chain tree in bloom. This tree is not native to New Zealand, but the similar native Kōwhai (Sophora microphyllia) is famous for its bright yellow, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring.
Shot this morning in Sheffield. Neighbour’s tree.

Soft glow on the Tavera mountains

First snowfall finally in Sheffield, Canterbury. Very brief.
