Day two

I went into Christchurch today, the Agapanthus are loving the hot dry weather. I was driving so I couldn't take a photo but it reminded me to take one of my own agapanthus in the garden. They are a beautiful vibrant blue which I am guessing is due to the dry conditions?

The not so beautiful tree in the background came down in the gales September 2013 - We lost 350 trees and this one won't get cleared until we have a suitable crop in the adjacent paddock so we can get the digger in to pull it out. Even though the roots are almost fully in the air, the tree remains green - amazing that a tree this size can survive on such a small amount of root still in the ground!
