Love your vibrant colours. I myself increase the saturation in the camera a little ( as recommended by Ken Rothwell ) to enhance the fotos. You obviously had fun at the Auckland Botanic Gardens - we will be going up that way again at Xmas. Cheers, Bernz

Gorgeous colors, Angela, very well composed with razor sharp focus. Thanks for bringing some summer up this way.
