Flowering gums.

Nelson is one of the oldest settlements in NZ. For this reason there are some remarkable, even astonishing huge exotic trees around the city. This isn't one of the biggies, but is a very beautiful flowering gum beside the Maitai walkway.
While I was painting it a lot of passersby stopped to look and comment. They were all complimentary which is always reassuring. My guess is that those who mightn't have been, decided to keep schtum, for which I must be grateful.
Because it was Waitangi Day today, there were more people on the walkway than usual.
