Good morning from a rather cold and chilly Hastings morning.
The prompt from The Daily Post today is spring. Well here in the southern hemisphere we are well into autumn and driving around yesterday I noticed the lovely autumn colours of the trees now losing their leaves.
So for this post it was a matter of diving into my archives for some photos taken last spring.
So for the first two photos I have gone for a New Zealand theme. We always know when spring has arrived and the native bush goes gold with these golden flowers. They are a very sweet flower and very popular with all the birdlife.
Then there are the usual blossoms.
And I can’t forget the daffodils.
Here are some other great posts for this challenge.

Lovely Raewyn, it seems so strange to me that you’re entering the autumn we just left behind. 😀

Beautiful, Raewyn. The first times I came to your blog I thought you were from Hastings, England. Did you change your blog theme or am I just losing what’s left of my mind after my tussles with WP yesterday? It looks good, no matter whether you did or not.

Thanks Janet. Yes my blog has changed. And I live in Hastings, New Zealand. Named of course after Hastings, England – I think. 😀

I know now that you live in NZ, but it took me a few weeks to realize it. Yup, the blog looks good.

I am in love with the flowers that attract the birds, bees and butterflies. When we move to Idaho permanently, my garden will have scads… I really love that yellow flower.
