Sunny down in Dunny

It's one of those spectacular Dunedin days. Blue sky, brilliant sun, beautiful scenary - all wrapped up in a temperature not usually experienced unless you are from the North Island. Yes, that's right - it's warm today.
Walking to Uni was actually enjoyable and I even decided to walk home instead of catching a ride, just to feel the sunshine on my pale skin and to see with my own eyes that insects really exist in Dunedin.
You see, this weather is treasure.
So used to wrapping up - I haven't shaved my legs for weeks - and then a day like this comes along and I wish I had the nerve to wear shorts.
I tried to be creative and capture the stunning views on my Nokia's not-good-enough camera. I toyed with the idea of coming back with my sister's expensive digital and then gave up, content to hold the images in my mind until further notice. I wished that my partner was there to see it all with his eyes instead of reading a pithy text telling him about the sun.
I supposed I should enjoy it all just for myself while I could.

...

And then post some pictures for you to enjoy too!

About to walk up past the Northern Cemetery
(my camera wasn't good enough to capture the tiny golden
flowers that were shimmering down from the trees!)

Just up the pathway from the previous photo.
This tree is so beautiful and I get to see it change through all the seasons.


View from the path
This area has so many beautiful trees and grasses - it's always so magical
