It's rainy but not cold today so I went for a local walk. My good raincoat meant I only needed to change a few clothes on my return. 😀

On the east side of the Dune Lake someone has created a good looking garden.

A garden edged with small rocks; mature trees and bushes are at the back; light coloured mulch covers the soil; some small artworks are scattered around.

I came back along the river where this large pōhutukawa stands on the bank. Or maybe it's more than one tree …

A large tree with several near horizontal branches at ground level.
Close up on the several large branches / trunks of the tree at the edge of the river. A little water shows below the branches.
