Photographs Taken March 6, 2007, in New Zealand

I had a free day to explore the Government Gardens in Rotorua and saw some lovely flowers including this yellow rose.

Photos taken March 2, 2007 New Zealand

Some photos taken on Fullers Ferry travelling from Auckland across Waitemata Harbour and on Waiheke Island. We explored the vineyards, tasted wine and visited an eccentric artist's studio (he sells his surrealistic work with no problem) and an art gallery and marvelled at our breath-taking surroundings.
