Beautiful Rosebud.  I'm surprised the roses are still flowering as we're in drought - and have had only one light bit of rain since Feb 6th.  It's now end of March and still no rain is in sight, nor has autumn really made a mark with long hot sunny days.  I'm actually ready for cooler temperatures.

A Lake Wanaka Special

Canon 7D, 100mm Macro Lens, Hand held.

You know you're addicted to photography when you pay $14 to go and see Puzzling World in Wanaka, then get caught up in their garden outside the public toilets, taking photos of free growing roses, then have to TEAR yourself away to actually go and enjoy the exhibit!  The roses were exquisite here. The Climate at Lake Wanaka must suit them.
