...the Botanic Gardens again. Just a quick walk through on my way home.

...another flower. This was in the grounds of Gardens House in the Royal Botanic Gardens, which had its Spring Open Day today.

It's nice to see some greenery back on the city streets. This is Bourke Street, taken from Queen Street near my work.
