A tui came to snack on our Pohutukawa tree in the rain yesterday, then rested on the bottle brush for a while.

In The Raspbery Bush

We found this at the PYO berry place, while picking raspberries for Christmas.   This is not the first time we found this in same PYO place.

Making A Deposit

It's just a temporary after the car smash into the entrance on last Saturday (just like movie ????)
This branch is still open. 
Not sure how long this news is up on the site but look at Nelson Mail for detail.

Cherry

A baby cherry fruit on our flowering cherry tree.  This is the fist time I have noticed this over several years of having this tree in our garden.  This year. we had few apparently, also one has already taken by birds.  Yes,  naturally, birds get the taste. 

Theme Day: My Street

This is a central business district in Nelson. So... not strictly speaking "My Street" but in the sense this place belong to all the people in here in Nelson.
It was sunny day (as usual) the nice couple enjoy the sun and coffee from the corner cart shop. 

See other participant in here at City Daily Photo Portal Theme Day Page.

Nosey

Saw this and many others last Tuesday. From memory, plant material or strings were shaped around a mold, hardened with what looked like liquid substance, bisected to remove the mold, and fit a light bulb inside. Shot from outside the window at the back of Red Gallery, Bridge Street.
