Autumn Drive

Central Otago is the place to go in autumn so we headed there today, hoping to see some colour.

Kelp

Sea, rocks and kelp at Bluff in Southland. Far south of the South Island of New Zealand. Foveaux Strait. 17 March.

Sunny Flowers

Clinton has sunflowers! On arrival this morning we found this big field of sunny faces. Nice welcome to town! Clutha District, New Zealand.

Eye Popping Poppies

Shower of Golden Flowers

Beautiful kōwhai tree, golden yellow blossom. Reigning over a sheep paddock. This evening.. Moa Flat, West Otago, New Zealand.

Rudbeckias (I think). Gorgeous autumn colour from Dunedin Botanic Garden, New Zealand. 24 March 2022. Today's a dull damp winter day so these pics of bright, cheerful flowers are good for my spirit!

We walked Commissioners Track yesterday, at East Roxburgh near the hydro dam. Lovely gorse flowers, shame it's a very bad pest plant here in NZ! I have to admit though, the bright yellow flowers sure brighten up a winters day. And I took a pic of Nigel on a lower part of the track as...
