In the recent school holidays (end of September), I took my two sons to
Kings Park,
to have a look at the wildflowers.
There were lots of wildflowers, and we spent some time wandering through the
flowerbeds, taking photos of wildflowers that each of us throught interesting.
Here's a few of the photos I took on that afternoon - but I'm only including photos of red flowers here. I'll include photos of some of the other flowers in a future blog post.

Nice shots Marty. They are flowers unfamiliar to me here in NZ. I find it difficult to photograph red flowers satisfactorily so you have done well in my book.
