Castle Rock, Port Hills

Not much time today, so here's my entry, early.  A lovely day, looks like summer has arrived again, and the forecasters are promising that it will be warmer at last.

These radiata pine trees grow well here, although they don't look very natural as they are so different from our native forests.  These hillsides would once have been covered in trees, but most were cleared for agriculture.

Thanks for all the comments over the last two days.  I don't have time for comments today, but will try to catch up in a couple of days.
