A day in Wollongong Botanic Gardens

I was taking photos of coral tree flowers when I met Meryl and John who were enjoying a walk through the Gardens. After a lengthy conversation about the gardens, photography, education (Meryl is a teacher) and websites I asked Meryl and John if I could take their photograph. I'm so glad I'm not a shy person because I really enjoyed the experience and love the end result. I have emailed some photos to Meryl and I hope she and John like them :)

A few blocks from where I live. There is just something so wonderful about this bridge. It draws me to it.
