Last sweet days of September special
I love Spring and at Bethells Beach it is VERY special with the bright yellow kowhai flowers and the climbing clematis vine cascading bunches of white flowers bursting into life amongst the green of the native bush. The Tui birds have a feast, get frisky, drunk on the nectar and then begin the nest building cycle.
MORE ABOUT THE WEDDING
i WAS SO EXCITED, i forgot to add the text, as follows….
Must be wedding season, lol! These pics are of a lovely couple here in January. They seized upon the idea of being adventurous and made good use of our decks, bush walk and bridges. She arrived in her red embroidered dress straight from the traditional tea drinking ceremony, and then changed into her formal white gown, Gorgeous and entertaining for us to watch from our dining room.
