a south island surpirse

When we were on holiday earlier this year, we followed a sign that said, 'Shag Point' hoping to see...well, some birds on the coastline. To our surprise, we didn't find any shags but we did find a seal colony at Matakaea Reserve!

the beginning of the garden

I am so excited about the first spring colors in my own front yard (garden, to you that speak Brit)! I didn't plant daffodils, so they were a huge surprise! 

There are lots of tulips getting ready to show their color along with irises.

another rainbow

I know I post a lot of rainbows but I just HAVE to go out and try to capture the whole thing when I see them because they are just so pretty! Most of the rainbow photos are two or three photos stitched together with Autostitch.

alyssum

Cold weather has certainly made it appearance at our house, but it seems that the alyssum haven't noticed. It's nice to have a bit of color as we finish up our gardening before winter's arrival.

yellow, sunny signs of spring

There aren't a lot of colorful flowers around in our winter here in New Zealand, but these beauties had popped up in Hollard Gardens--sure signs of spring!

flowers from hollard gardens

Hollard Gardens in Kaponga is my 'go to' place when I want to take pictures but don't want to go far. It's a public garden, free to enter, that is absolutely huge with a wonderful variety of colors all year round. These are photos from my archives taken at Hollard Gardens. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
