More yellow flowers

Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 15 August 2008 in Plant & Nature.

This is the bloom of the kowhai tree, which is one of our native trees. It can grow quite tall and large

I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes
