Remains...

………………………..of Late Spring Snow



The distant peaks of Mt Arthur are covered in a dusting of late snow - providing a backdrop to the lush green of spring growth.

This was photographed from the bypass between Motueka and Nelson, NZ, as we returned from my follow up appointment with the surgeon at the public hospital in Nelson. Two more weeks of new medicated dressings and the wound should be completely healed, then another couple of weeks and I can look forward to summer swimming.



Thank you for the comments, stars and hearts for my previous blip of a stormy looking Riwaka wharf.
