Springtime in Palmy

It's been an absolutely gorgeous spring weekend in Palmy- (not before time!!!) and I've enjoyed being out and about, walking and cycling.

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.
