Season's Greetings.

 

Wishing You All a Very Happy and Safe Christmas.

New Zealand Christmas Trees.

 Pohutukawa = New Zealand Christmas Tree.

 This one is in the small round about as we drive into our sub division. It is a dark shade. Some are more orange red.

 This one is now finished. It is in the 2nd round about in our sub division.

 This little one is in our young folks section below their house.

 Its a good year for Pohutukawa  I think the liked the rain earlier this year.

 We see them everywhere we go.

 In fact I can see the neighbour's ones from upstairs better than they can see them. 

Bethlehem Town Centre which is closer to me than Tauranga has these and other decorations on display.

 There is quite a good selection of shops there ( tho not every type ). There is a large elderly population in the surrounds so it  is often very busy. As long as I can find one, parking is okay.

 We can post things at Te Puna ( closer still ) at the local store. I'm trying to keep off the roads as much as possible as there are so many road works and a very large population trying to use them.
