I think I am a closet perfectionist

… in fact the more I procrastinate the surer I am. I keep meaning to post.. but I don’t have any nice photos… I am too tired… not sure what to post about. I could blame my Chronic Fatigue as it wipes out days at a time, but it’s really more because I want to post photos that I think are ok. My camera is on its way to Sony US under warranty as it has never been able to take a clear photo and who knows when it will be back, so I only have my iPhone.

So ‘deep breathe’ I went for a walk. I look out over a park called the Tree Trust. A visionary gentleman planted out these parklands with groves of trees and funded it by having people buy a tree that could be used as a memorial for those who have passed. It was so popular it has expanded to acres of land but you can no longer buy trees. The council uses sheep to keep the grass down and it is one of the nicest places to walk in Rotorua, of course in lockdown there are no cars driving through but lots of people.… and sheep.

With spring just starting the daffodil as are out and the very early blossom, but the show stoppers are the magnificent magnolia’s in three different groves and three different colours.

The dark burgundy, soft pink and white. Huge almost plastic feeling blossoms stand out against the bare trees, almost as if they are floating in space.
