red zinnia IMG_6562aw

Greg, not sure if your targeting red, but have noticed you have seemed to have done quite a bit of work with that color over past couple of months. think a wee bit off left side would not hurt. simple and elegant, nicely done.

Thanks Roger.

Have you noticed how red/ orange attracts many more people's attention than the cooler colors?  We are partial to reds and oranges in our garden - thus my subjects, usually. I sent you a short note via your Ngaio site. I wonder if it worked? Is the climate mild there all year?

Stay well

Greg,

yes i have noticed how different colors, are more popular than others. i did get your message a few days back. did you just look at their site or go through to ours, if you didn't see ours here it is www.ngaiobay.co.nz. i think there's enough images of ngaio bay there to give you a real idea of what it's like. we do seem to have a pretty temperate climate, no frosts and we can also grow a lot of sub tropical plants. i think we live in one of the worlds most beautiful locations. ( i would be a bit biased ) but most people who come here think the same thing.

the image am attaching was taken last summer, we were playing with a large pod of killer whales when this guy came up and  rubbed the boat. talk about excitement, almost soiled my pants. i realize the quality of image is not so good, but it at least gives you a idea of the experience.

all the best
