August - early springtime in Hawkes Bay

Spring comes early in Hawkes Bay.

For us it is strange to see daffodils and cherry blossom in August. This part of New Zealand has a very early spring. Wellington is definitely much colder and probably about 6 weeks behind Hawkes Bay.

In Hawkes Bay, most deciduous trees are not yet in leaf but the weeping willows are showing a hint of green.

The pink almond blossom is lovely too. The first time I have ever seen it. We have 2 almond trees at our new house and they are just covered in pink.
