Magnolia grandiflora: Cone
The seedcones of Magnolia grandiflora are ripening – their colour changing from green to reddish until the bright red seeds appear.
Bridge, Oakley Creek Walkway
A mighty plane tree stands guard at this bridge across Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek).
Shadows
The mellow sun of the late afternoon casts a shadow of the thinning tulip tree onto the brick wall of The Potters Post (strangely, the sign proclaiming the name of the building seems to have disappeared from the front).
Wonder Tree — Idesia Polycarpa
At the “Rocket Park” playground in Mount Albert one finds apair of rather tall Wonder Trees (Idesia polycarpa) – and right now they are laden with their grape-like pendents of bright red berries.
You guessed it: it’s a weed (introduced plant which spreads easily). Native to South East Asia.

Tangiwai Reserve
Tangiwai Reserve is popular with dog owners, as it is is an “off lead” area. Wet grass after a crisp night, and quite soggy in places. Stately trees — their shadows on the lush grass caught my eye.
Ginkgo Carpet
Some of the ginkgo trees are completely bare now, some are still resplendend in gold – leaves covering the lawn.

Tulip Tree
Well, according to NZ convention, winter started on June 1. And the temperatures have dropped on cue, as have many of the leaves of this Tulip tree at the New Lynn Community Centre.
