Default More to see at the gardens

Shots I took at Ngatea Gardens New Zealand.

Arum Lily

Bees

I waited a long time for this white peacock to spread its fan but this is as far as it opened.

Peacock

Seats made of Totara (a New Zealand tree) in front of a Wisteria vine.

A barn.

Hope you enjoyed these shots.

Beautiful shot of the lily...

I think I've seen a white peacock before, once. But it never really register in my head until I see your shot here... A nice one. It's a shame she's camera shy...
