Lucky timing on the beach at Waihi. Hope those three ladies found their pot of gold! By Damon Marshall.Went on an early morning walk from the golf range and came across this dead tree with the rising sun behind it. By Brent Higham.The pasqueflower. When the buds first emerge they are surrounded in a hug by their lacy greyish-green leaves. When the flower finally emerges it is a beautiful shade of purple whose colour varies from cluster to cluster. Some are quite dark, others lighter, but they all have vibrant golden stamens. The stems, leaves, and flowers are all covered in fine silky soft hairs, which makes for great backlighting when photographing them. By Jan Whybourne.Honeybee on exotic plant, covered in pollen. By Lorraine Neill.The quaint main street of Kaysersberg. In 1648, the city became a part of France, although most inhabitants continued to speak German. From 1871 to 1918 and (again from 1940 to 1944) Kaysersberg belonged to Germany. The area around Kaysersberg is one of the finest wine-growing areas in Alsace. The first vines were brought here in the 16th century from Hungary. Wine produced from the pinot gris variety is a local specialty.

By Glenda Wilks.The light shining through a courgette from our garden reveals all the intricate details of the flower.
