Wellington botanic garden

The Easter weekend also calls for the end of day light saving which signals winter is coming.  I thought this is the last chance to check out the last bit of floral blossom before winter comes. Fortunately we had a couple of fine days over the Easter break, so I headed to Wellington botanic garden to enjoy the last bit of summer and do a bit of non-work related shooting.
