Preparing today's work: #volunteering in our #museum and #culturalHeritage center with animations for the public. Despite the frosty nights, the forests are standing in a sea of white flowers, and soon our village #limetrees will get tiny green tips. We can feel this magic changing the mood of visitors. Nature unpacks all her pastel colours, brightens people, paints laughter and scenting sparkles of violets ...

Did a nice 3.5km in the arboretum this afternoon and saw kōwhai trees from New Zealand, Queensland bottle trees, and what might be African lovegrass but I’m hoping is really kangaroo grass. If anyone can identify this for me, I’d be most grateful.

Oh, and there was a kite festival going on, which we stayed well away from because crowds

Should I stay or should I go now? A squirrel tries to assess the danger I pose as I lean in to take a picture of this wonderful cactus flower this morning as I walked back from the tire shop after dropping off my car.
