| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Here we are now in Spring.... (although you wouldnt think so today...though its not cold, where I am... its a rainy grey day)..but soon to change.
Some notes on the weather in New Zealand:
Since Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, named the country Aotearoa (land of the long white cloud), the seasons have been of paramount importance to New Zealanders, many of whom make their living from the land. New Zealand has mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall and high sunshine hours throughout most of the country. Its climate is dominated by two main geographical features, the mountains and the sea, and each season this creates a playground for adventure
New Zealand does not have a large temperature range, lacking the extremes found in most continental climates. However, New Zealand weather can change unexpectedly—as cold fronts or tropical cyclones quickly blow in. Because of this, you should be prepared for sudden changes in weather and temperature if you're going hiking or doing other outdoor activities.
• Spring - September, October, November
• Summer - December, January, February
• Autumn - March, April, May
• Winter - June, July, August
New Zealand has a largely temperate climate. While the far north has subtropical weather during summer, and inland alpine areas of the South Island can be as cold as -10 C in winter, most of the country lies close to the coast, which means mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and abundant sunshine.
Because New Zealand lies in the Southern Hemisphere, the average temperature decreases as you travel south. The north of New Zealand is subtropical and the south temperate. The warmest months are December, January and February, and the coldest June, July and August. In summer, the average maximum temperature ranges between 20 - 30ºC and in winter between 10 - 15ºC.

Very pretty Dawn - good focus and sharpness. I love how you've the cropped it too.
But IMHO I think the large border is too big - I'd like to see more of the flower.
