WALK IN THE COOL OF A.H.REED PARK

For this morning's Parkinson's Walk we went to A.H. Reed Park for the shade.  According to my phone the temperature is "31 degrees (feels like 32)"  and in this morning's paper we read that "the highest February temperature ever recorded at the Whangarei Airport was 31.2 degrees on February 7, 2017.  The official Whangarei temperature is recorded in a shaded box at Whangarei Airport which means the temperature will be much warmer inland."

I can vouch for it feeling warmer.The only rain in sight is the chance of a shower on Saturday but that may not eventuate. 

Here are some photos from today's walk.

The smaller plants are really suffering.




The larger ones look better





This was the "waterfall" today and the photo below it was taken in August.

  1. Plenty of rain here recently, and today we are to expect 20 C. We don't know what to expect next!

  2. Your walks are always through such beautiful parks and countryside.
    You reminded me of the book I've got on AH Reed when he walked through NZ.
    Lovely there is a park named after him

  3. Looks like a very pleasant spot for a walk, but a few degrees cooler would be nice.
