Within A Dream
In the summer, the lupin flowers bloom in various parts of New Zealand, providing a spectacular splash of colour across the landscape. Although they are a weed, I think the gift of being a photographer is being able to find and appreciate beauty in all things. On this particular morning, I was lost for words, to experience this grand light show and atmosphere, topped off by a rainbow. Something of a dream. You can view the whole shoot over on my youtube channel.
