Today I went to my Dad's in Maungaturoto, and its a stinking hot day. We went for a drive down to the cow sheds, the last of the calves were trying to keep cool in the shade.
Below is one of the old sheds, looks quite neat with the shadows.
Below are the Hydrangeas in Dads garden.
Below are photos of the Pohutukawa and the dam.
... a random wildflower
On the way home I stopped at the Kaipara look out, if you look closely enough you can see rain in the distance.

The Pohutukawa are stunning at the moment, however the wildflowers have finished, there were only a few wild Sweet Peas and the odd flower here and there.
