Botanical Blossoms

Doug and I had some shopping to do, we decided to go early taking both vehicles, then he could go straight to golf croquet and I could do the supermarket shopping. 
I put my camera in with the idea of cruising through the Botanical Gardens to see what was showing (like blossoms) for a Pep Ventosa type image.  I found two that I liked, but wasn't able to walk around them because of the pond, so did an arc as best I could.  My blip has 23 images, the one in extra has only 12.  I wasn’t sure which one to blip.

Please take a look at the first one in extra, texted over this afternoon of our little 6 year old with a certificate for Excellence and Future Performer Award.  I'm not at all surprised as she loves performing, singing, and dancing.  This photo was in a collection of three others along with a video of her performing.  Aidan and Kaylene are so good at including us with her goings on at school.  Very thankful as goodness knows when we will see them.
Covid - the highest number ever recorded her in NZ  - 95 cases today, 7 of those in Waikato the remainder in Auckland.....far from encouraging at all.

Raining this afternoon, good day to be be indoors, no roofers of course.
