Pohutukawa
The pohutukawa is a part of the national flora of New Zealand. It blooms in the summer months, December through February, in bright red colors, giving it the nickname of the “New Zealand Christmas tree”. Pohutukawa are abundant in this region, which made it quite beautiful when we arrived. Now the autumn weather is coming in force and we won’t have the red blooms around much longer.
Living here, it is so easy to appreciate the grandeur of this world that God created. It has been wonderful to become familiar with the flora and fauna of another part of the planet. God’s creativity is so evident in our world. In the lands he formed, the plants and animals, the oceans teeming with life, and the peoples that inhabit the world. We are all blessed to see and know so much. Blessed to be formed by his hands and created in love.

It’s so strange to think that Autumn is gradually settling in in the same way that Spring is doing so here. Hope you guys are feeling settled into your new home!corrine () - April 20, 2005 at 09:17 am
