Thanks Jo. We cannot complain about our weather this year. A long wonderful summer and a very mild winter. The warmest in Wellington since records began in the 1860’s.
Such a lovely sign of Spring! I am reading your blog post with the sunshine streaming through the windows of my tiny home…… It is warm and the light is coming earlier and earlier every day. This is my favourite time of the year! Happy days 🙂
Jazz is noting the earlier light in the morning. He likes to get up and go out to check his patch. I’m glad you enjoyed my “yellow” post. Soak up that sunshine.
Hi Linda. Our seasons globally seem to be in sync in rather an odd manner right now. American bloggers are sounding wistful about an early fall and a lacklustre summer.
I remembered your post featuring “Yellow” Juliet as my eye kept being caught by vibrant yellow here at the moment. The Kowhais are simply bursting with flowers here at the moment. Everywhere lemon trees are dripping with fruit too. It has been quite a season or seasons.
I saw a Monarch the other day too. There are lots of Bumble bees about but honey bees have been missing from my garden for a number of years now. I worry about that as there is plenty of bee food here. We need the bees.
http://nba.org.nz/bee-aware-month I didn’t realise until today that August is Bee Awareness Month. Apparently the biggest problems for the bees are hunger, disease and poison. Although, like you, I have lots of bee friendly plants in my garden, I am not sure how rich the neighbourhood is in bee friendly plants.

Beautiful yellow flowers, but daffodil looks more beautiful.
Thank you. I like the miniature daffodils too.
Wow, those lemons look so big, have they been growing all winter?
The lemons are on the neighbour’s tree. They have grown over winter and are producing a heavy crop right now.
Lovely!
Thank you. Brightness everywhere as the days lengthen.
so bright and well focused… Lovely
Thank you. I noted bright orange in spots too. The colours seem more vibrant after such a mild winter here.
Wow, that’s a lot of lovely yellow! I hope it’s an omen of hope and sunshine for you!

Yellow everywhere here also, only in the leaves in our early fall!

Yellow is so cheerful, and the kowhai looks gorgeous. I haven’t seen any yet, so was glad when your last picture was of kowhai.

Lovely, lovely yellow. The lemons are mighty and so good to see the kowhai.
It has been a splendid season for lemons and our kowhais are simply laden with Tui tucker:-))
Are the bees about yet? I saw a Monarch butterfly this morning which surprised me. However, it is very warm today.

We are not that far from rural areas and we have gardens all around us but very few honey bees. We used to have plenty:-(
Very sad.
