Today I drove from Auckland to New Plymouth. This photo was taken from my car. I liked the way the sun was just hitting the top of the hill - plus the dotting of a few sheep. The trees are manuka. A very unobtrusive tree, but bees make extremely valued honey from its tiny flowers.
@olenadole@vignouse@littleconnie@dawnee@paul10 Thanks for your comments - really appreciated :-) @kiwinanna Thanks Liana, yes this year so far has been extraordinary for not being home much - but hopefully that changes from now on in! @maggiemae Thanks Maggie - you could well be right and it could be kanuka, really not sure - it is quite tall though not too tall for manuka. Apparently though really common elsewhere kanuka is not so much in Taranaki, have no idea why.
