Pohutukawa

A lovely specimen tree shaped by the prevailing winds. We will have to go back around Christmas time when the pohutukawa are flowering.

Love the way it's leaning away from the wind, I feel sorry for trees in the cold wind, must be a hard life for a tree sometimes!

Lovely view and capture.

Lovely shot with the table. Always find it odd when you refer to Christmas as a time for flowers. LOL

[Denise Wood]

Great scene :)

[Margo]

[Jane Pittenger]

Wonderful shape and I like how it seems to be leaning protectively over the picnic table

I love this image and the way that you have presented it. Hope that Myrtle Rust does not wipe them out, they are a brilliant addition to NZ Summers.

@nzkites yes it’s a very scary thought!

The wind really trains the trees, doesn’t it?
