moments in flowers


Long, long ago...



Iceberg roses, Victorian broekie lace and light blue shutters.

The first house I wanted to own in George.







Stormsriver Bridge, Masterton's coffee, ferns and fuschias.

A tradition with my daughter and sister.

I am very proud of this photo that I took in passing.




Mandy's Spanish lavender in the Hop Gardens

and Janie's driving lesson.







Walking my neighbourhood

and occasional trespassing

to get a good shot.

Thankfully not shot at.







Nursery in Hsinchu, Taiwan

where local is exotic,

Mandy's wisteria in George,

family Christmases, candles and board games.










My biggest flat in Hong Kong where I promised myself 

fresh flowers every week,

just because I could!









Flannel Flowers flower shop in IFC mall, Hong Kong.

Never a bad shot.

Perfect lighting  and exquisite flowers.

Every time!






Lotus pond in Taiwan,

long scooter rides in the heat, wind and rain,

and lunch in Lunwei with Janie and Michelle.


Beauty is everywhere.

This beautiful spot is enjoyed by the local bird life as well, with the peacocks and guinea fowls taking prime position, being fed by all the families who live along the river. ...
