August 2017 Wetness still rules the days around here despite hopeful mornings such as that shown above with the sun directly behind Maumaupaki the mountain(?) that dominates the sky to the East.  The furthest North it got was just to left of that blob of white cloud on the ridge line and now the race is on for domination somewhere off the page to the right of the picture.  It is a good time for moss as the following photo well shows replete with daffodils beaten to the ground in the wetness of despair...... well that might be overstating it just a bit but you have admit the moss fair gleams with its lime-ish of green, the flowering cherry above still gaunt and showing little of the show to come.
Rays of Hope maybe? 
The Kauri Pond garden has some new additions, including moss, to add to the ambience, so I will let the image do the talking in this next early morning photo taken not long after a passing shower.
...... and then there is the other creation that has had a makeover, old age dealt to the previous so now there is a new support structure, but as to what it is.........??
