Yesterday was our wedding anniversary and we spent it in Dunedin, arriving in the early afternoon. Here’s a few pics from the Dunedin Botanic Garden. The roses are now in flower .. and they’re blooming beautiful! Nigel spotted a white rose called ‘Wedding Day’ and I’ve included a photo below. Dunedin, New Zealand.
‘Wedding Day’

Beautiful rose, but with no label.

Lily flower detail, one of the tall-growing kinds.

In the evening we visited Brighton beach.

Enjoying our re-acquaintance with the Botanic Gardens …

Sorry I missed it–I was being blown around on that lonely lake near Turangi. I’m happy to see that you were able to celebrate with such nice weather. Love your shadow shot on Brighton Beach!

Thank you, it was lovely. This is the Brighton near Dunedin, long beach alongside the south coast road, periodically broken by short rock interludes. Very pretty views from this stretch of road.
