How do you know it's spring?

At this time of year in Australia every wattle tree in the country is going nuts and everywhere you look there is yellow blossom.

Here there is no wattle but the kowhai trees are in flower. I didn't actually notice that they were out until I started seeing carpets of yellow flowers on the footpaths like this.



Then when you look up you see these wonderful dangly flowers.



So it does feel like spring!
