The brilliance of this spring green lasts for such a short time really, and in the sunshine it looked just magnificent.
A school near my place has some beautiful spring trees including this one. What a joy to look out the window of your classroom and see this tree blossoming.
Downtown yesterday there was all sorts going on, with a small arts festival down George St way. As I was walking there I got distracted in the Square by some groups from IPC, the Japanese College, who are holding a spring festival next weekend. There were both traditional items, and more modern groups.
The drumming group always draws a crowd and I love to listen to them and watch them.
This group seemed to do a Japanese version of break-dancing- men in black.
And I can't leave you without yet another blossom photo- this time from the Esplanade this morning. These blossoms look superb in the sunshine, and people walking under them were all happy and content.
