localweather | Auckland NZ late spring

Bringing you something very different from the Southern hemisphere. Late spring in New Zealand and my backyard is a jungle - the toon tree has gone mad and sent offshoots up everywhere - it's the pale pink leaves in the photo. Sunny today, but there were spring storms not long ago with blustery rain and wind, and a big bamboo trunk has fallen across the garden (I use the term 'garden' loosely) and will need to be cut down. Pleasant out right now in late afternoon, a light breeze and 19 degrees C (66F). I'm having a cuppa before cracking on with some paperwork.

Lush green bamboos, shrubs and fading pale pink toon leaves, sunlight shining through.
