We took a refreshing walk around part of Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu which held a frisbee golf course, botanical gardens, and a beautiful view of the lake (photos coming soon). We captured some great shots of the flowers blooming during a light drizzle on this brisk Summer day in New Zealand. God, I loved New Zealand.

(Fresh drops of rain falling from the rose leaves)

(Bees were everywhere, grabbing up all of the pollen)

(My favorite part of a rose’s life, just starting to bloom)

(Lastly, my very very favorite flowers were these oversized peony looking flowers. So beautiful!)

I think there is no better place to be than a place covered in flowers.
