Im glad to hear it.There has to be some positives to living in a place called Wangas! ;) I wonder what the correct term is for people from Wanga? :unsure:

Big rain here last night.

Re: Autumn
 

Well I got all excited yesterday when I discovered a path near my office that was covered in large scrunchy autumn leaves (just hope the manager wasn't watching me scuffing backwards and forwards with a big dopey grin on my face :o).

Then what happens overnight? It damn well rains!!!! All my nice scrunchy leaves are soggy and slippy :(

Re: Autumn
 

Heaps of leaves and autumnal colour here in Hamilton and Cambridge. 20 degrees here today too, so still some warmth left yet. After a couple of yrs in Hawkes Bay I did find myself kicking through scrunchy leaves at uni last week :wub:

Re: Autumn
 

A great day today here in Waikanae (again!). Last night my daughter watched my son playing rugby 5.30 pm - 6.30 pm last night in a t-shirt! A fine warm morning today, only disturbed by a cloudy, showery afternoon in Wellington (hospital with my daughter's broken elbow - owwww!) back to Waikanae, no sign of rain, 19 degrees at 5.30 pm outside woolworths buying tea!

PS. The difference between Wellington and 40 mins up the coast never fails to amaze me (fortunately!)

Re: Autumn
 

yeah. it was a lovely day wasn't it. I was glad.. showery, sunny, cloudy, and warm...all nice. plus NO WINDY today! GREAT!! but I was just seriously busy at work all day long - just wish could have some spare time so that I could watch the rain properly (or walk in the rain with pretty brelly)....:eek: love the autumn rain. I love rain! :heart:

Re: Autumn
 

sure did chuck it down over night though....

Re: Autumn
 

I've got no fav season in particular (now). as been in nz for a long time... I've already forgotten .. "what was like?"... :confused: no more (emotional/romantic) feelings whatsoever toward seasons.. :( :( :( :(

... however...

do we have four seasons here (welly) ? .. I don't think so...not quite...

anyway, hey Dewb, I took photographs for you yesterday evening on my way home in town! It was a wet day and while passing the colourful trees..thought ..oh.. its (sort of) pretty! and thought of you and took piccies. you might like it.:D it does look rather romantic doesn't it (than usual ;) ) ? btw Welly pavements always looks so clean? haha... :rofl:

Re: Autumn
 

:wub: thank you crap coffee, what a lovely thing to do :wub:

I love them :thumbsup: the streets are fantastically litter free, they look lovely & are shimmering from the rain. Makes me think about lighting a fire and snuggling up with a hot choc & movie.

Not quite the autumnal colour, but still lovley...... hey such is life.

Thank you for taking the time to post :starsmile:

Re: Autumn

Hi Deb (and others!)

I know you're thinking of the Kapiti coast (just north of Wellington), so here are a few shots taken on the beach after school this afternoon.

I love autumn here!:thumbsup:

Re: Autumn
 

Well last winter was hardly long & nasty here in Auckland, damp and wet certainly. Summer though was excellent, loads of sunny days and little rain.
