All in a day's walk..

Today I wandered thru the bush around Lisa's house on the Northshore of Auckland.. man, gorgeous, green, tropical springtime is alive and well here...!! I took delight in some of the smaller details along the way.. enjoy!

Saw this on my lovely walk today... so so true.. "The tree that moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others a green thing that stands in the way.."

Love it!
