Snapshot Saturday! (lemmy.nz)

Photo Friday didn't last long (although I may have warned you that I'm terrible at sticking with things) but it's a new month and a new weekend so let's try a weekend challenge instead.

Snapshot Saturday is more about taking candid shots of everyday things, rather than hunting out the perfect shot for a particular prompt. So feel free to share a photo of something from your weekend - before and after shots of gardening progress, the shiny finish on your freshly cleaned vehicle (haha) or a good sunset.

Rules: No NSFW, no shots you didn't take yourself.

We went to the Auckland botanic gardens for a few hours on Saturday. There was an ultra marathon going in the forest trail in the back. Lots of nice flowers out.

pohutukawa flowers

Beautiful! Do they have much of a smell? I've never seen real pohutukawa, just the local bottlebrush.

Not that I could smell. I love the bottle brushes, too! That's another really cool tree. They are also blooming everywhere right now.
