The water gardens at Ngatea - south-west of Thames - are quite beautiful.  Besides the flowers, which everyone photographs, there is an interesting museum at the back and quirky signs scattered around the grounds.  Here are a few of the signs, which appeal to my twisted sense of humour.

A cuddle could be uncomfortable !!

These were all taken with a little pocket point and shoot camera - a Canon A470 - on a dull rainy day. Shows that anyone can do it.

A dull day, in fact, is better than a bright sunny day. No glare and burnt out highlights on the shiny bits.
