Some parts of New Zealand flood more than others. Our Spring so far has been very very wet, luckily in our town it's not so flat so water drains quite quickly. However in Kaeo, the next town along on the way north is very flat so sometimes the river can rise so high to the point where farmland gets bogged down like the photos above and the roads will be blocked off.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Very reminiscent of what happens here
Flooding can bring nutrients to ground...I hope that is so there
...areas can look like this here is spring.
Reminds me of springtime in Alaska with everything melting and some raining.
For some reason I love photos of flooded farmland. I feel a bit weird about it as my family has suffered quite big losses in a couple of huge floods.
I have seen scenes like that in spring here. It tends to drain into the water table fairly quickly.
If it was the north it had to be Kaeo.
Bad memories...
I well remember floods in Northland which took me by surprise because until then everywhere had always been baked hard by the heat and lack of rain.
At least it is farmland flooding and not housing.
I find flooded fields sad - hope it dries soon.
Our farmers experienced a lot of that earlier in the year.
Greetings and Salutations! Flooding is a real problem here as well for the farming communities. Good job on the photos.
A lot of rain?
Oh, those floods! I'm happy not to live in a flood-prone area any more :)
Wonderful pictures. Floods bring lot of troubles with them.
Many places in Finland has this same problem every spring when snow melts. Not in my neck of woods, I´m glad to say. Keep your feets dry and enjoy the Spring!
I hope the livestock are safe.
Happy Weekending, Amy.
