Wedding anniversary today! So we did a long drive into Central Otago
~ but I took this photo 24 November.
Deep red rosebud ready to open, red mature rose blurred behind the bud, scattered soft-focus white roses in background (they’re tinged palest pink in the centre). Alexandra public gardens, Central Otago, New Zealand.

It was a fabulous day, in fact weather-wise it was one out-of-the-box. We’ve had a lot of rainy or very windy days recently, often cold, so we were really happy that we got a nice day to be out-and-about!

Makes it even better if the weather wasn’t so good on other days – you appreciate it more! Glad it was so good for you. 🙂
