Sunny days in spring

You know spring is here when the bottle brush trees put up a great show...

... and there's been a run on chickens in the supermarket because everyone's out barbecuing.

Blooming great show

I love flame of the forest trees. They really put their heart into it when they bloom. The ones at Pui O are especially pretty this time of the year.


But the heritage tree by the McDonald's isn't doing too badly, either. The clusters of red berries are too pretty for words.

Pity they fall on barren concrete and are ground underfoot. I feel so bad for the tree that I am tempted to gather a few and disseminate them along the mountain trails. Hmmm, maybe I will do that before our hike this weekend.
