Hello you lucky people in the southern hemisphere. Spring is just around the corner, it’s time to take pictures. And your floral composition turned out again to be superb. I like the bokeh (blurry background) you created and I wonder whether you are using manual focus on your camera. Best wishes! Peter
Thanks Peter. The last few days have been almost summery. I do use manual focus quite a lot, but am not sure if this shot was taken with manual or auto-focus.
Another lovely shot, Su. I thought of you this morning as I heard on the news that NZ can now “ask” you to give them access to your devices when entering the country and make copies of anything they like. Not likely to encourage people to visit, that’s for sure!!
Yes: I’m really angry and disappointed that my country has joined the ranks of those nations — including the US— that can “legally” access travellers’ devices.

I think your photos of your flowers are going to get me through the winter Su.

I’m not happy we can do it here, either, although I’ve never had it happen to me. There should be probable cause!!

That would be lovely, but we’re being warned to expect very high temperatures.
