While I was at the beach yesterday I took these photos. Plants are dry right now and many flowers are not looking their best after howling winds, humidity and low rain fall have done their damage.
But Pelargoniums and Geraniums love the heat and provide a welcome splash of bright colour to mirror the heat and the light of the moment.
Pretty photos. Very nice shots.
Thank you. I am really enjoying my interest in photography.
I am hoping that we get some rain this spring so we do not have another drought summer.
We have high fire risks and areas of drought in New Zealand right now. It is the persistent wind that dries out my garden in summer. And now this very hot period of weather means rain is desperately needed in the garden. The hose will have to suffice. I hope spring rains fall abundantly for you Judy.
The contrasts are lovely. I am struggling to keep my garden alive and I have mostly drought resistant plants! And we have another hot week ahead. Phew.
Thank you. Christchurch has really had some heat this summer. It is hard to see your beloved plants suffer. This week is predicted to be hot here too and so far they have that right!
A refreshing shower is blessed for nature. The geraniums look lovely.
Can you show some pictures of the beach?
Thank you for the idea of a refreshing shower of rain. It has been very hot here today. I will post some photos of Plimmerton beach. It is one of my favourite beaches. I played and swum here as a child and now have lived a few kilometres away from it for over 20 years.
I’ve been photographing the dryness too while out at Te Henga. Looks like it’s going to stay that way for a while.
I’ll look forward to your photos. Summer is here now and maybe for a week!
Despite of the hot weather, the beach still created the most beautiful visuals.
It is still very hot here but there is always something colourful to take a photograph of.
