LOOKING IN THE SQUARE

Shore Scene.

.. Somewhere on the east coast of the North Island this scene caught my eye. The tree is the New Zealand Pohutukawa, our Christmas tree because it's red spiky flowers open at Christmas time. . This view could be a typical NZ scene as the pohutukawa tree grows mainly by the seaside. . As they are easy to grow from seed taken from spent flowers, there doesn't appear to be any reason why they grow mainly in locations like this. .
