Jack and Katrina's Place

By the time you get to mid August, winter in Wellington really starts to drag. It's cold, it seems to rain incessantly and the ground is a muddy mossy sponge under filthy grey skies. The first picture taken on the new over bridge at Manor Park on the Hutt line sums it up, monotone skies and single digit temperatures. (6 deg  C at 10:00am)


But at the bottom of the garden, hope springs eternal. The camellias  have detected the changing light and brought forth their perfect buds. I captured this one on Sunday morning, while hanging out washing between the rain showers.
