In need of a change of scenery after days of trying to bring order to the chaos of stuff we’ve accumulated, I sneaked off to the glasshouses of the Winter Garden at the Auckland Domain.

Bold, vibrant, cheerful; the best kind of colour therapy.

And here I am envious of the cold “up North.” I don’t do heat and humidity well.

I agree with you. Heat and humidity are grossly overrated.
Today is a perfectly un-typical winter day at 7C. If this were spring or fall, we would be squeaking in dismay at the cold, but because it’s winter … Hallelujah! 🙂

Gorgeous. There is a dahlia show down here next weekend but I can’t go – tied up with the market both days.

I love flowers and treasure the roses and dahlias that survived our summer heat. These photos are wonderful to look at especially this afternoon as I catch my breath after a long and busy day.
