Today we made our annual pilgrimage down Harper Avenue to revel in the wonderful display of cherry blossoms.
Across the road in Little Hagley Park there are swathes of various coloured daffodils, as well as blue and white-bells.
The blossoms last only a week or so but are absolutely breathtaking just now. There are more along Riccarton Avenue and in various other parts of the city, but Harper Avenue has the best display.
We know the blossoms will not stay
so best to view them right away

The cherry blossom’s out in Harper Avenue, always a joyful sign of spring.
I couldn’t resist crossing the road to enjoy the daffodils too.
When people are crossing, the traffic lights stop the cars to let pedestrians and cyclists through – just as it should be.
“The cherry blossom is superb
with daffodils beside the kerb.”

The blossom was absolutely breath-taking even in light rain.

Around the other side of Hagley Park there’s an amazing display of daffodils and bluebells.

“Spring now is surely sprung entire
with all the blooms one can require.”
