Spring at Lake Omapere


Country life is when you can drive anywhere out of town and within minutes you're seeing farmland everywhere. We drove past Lake Omapere last weekend, sun was shining but it was a windy day. This lake caught our eye - wide at approx 5km in length but not very deep at only 2-3 metres. 


But Spring is now definitely here, a bit early as the first day is normally September 1st so there are plenty of flowering bulbs and other blooms making an appearance. In this photo Kaikohe is just north of here in the distance.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

I like that brave little daisy popping up early in the foreground of the Lake photo. You've moved to a beautiful scenic area and it will be wonderful to celebrate the new season there!!
