A few glimpses of Dunedin

We've had an unusually rainy winter. To our relief, a moderate amount of sunshine has arrived with the spring. I'm able to hang laundry outside again. This is a new thing for me; before we moved here I had never hung laundry outside before. I get a lot of pleasure from being outside on crisp sunny mornings hanging it out. We really enjoy our little back yard. No grass to mow, which is a big treat. And the view up the hill is comfortably urban but private enough.

Dave went out on his bicycle a couple weeks ago to try to take some pictures of spring. The Botanic Garden was surprisingly bereft of spring flowers. You can see the trees are just starting to get leaves.

Up above the Botanic Gardens is an old cemetery which Dave visited that same day. The mausoleum pictured below looks like a small scale version of First Presbyterian Church in downtown Dunedin. He wonders if the same architect designed it. He sat in the sun that day and painted the scene in the next photograph.
