Celebrating Winter Poplars…..

…….. because it will be soon be spring. The poplars next to Doctors Creek will soon burst into bud. Thus it seems right to appreciate and celebrate their nakedness.
A dull drizzly day. There has been some very heavy rain dumped on the lower part to the North Island…… Wellington, the Hutt Valley and Kapiti Coast. Here in Marlborough we got off lightly…. So far….
This afternoon I attended a Memorial Service for a dear friend, Richard. He was only 67 …. Far too young. He will be dreadfully missed by his family and many friends. RIP Richard.
