Red and Orange, Gold and Yellow

‘Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.’ – Albert Camus.

Anyone who knows me will know that I love autumn. So I was super excited to come to the South Island in May (NZ prime autumn time!) and see the fantastic autumn colours everywhere. I haven’t been disappointed, and I want to share some of my favourite autumn moments from my trip on the South Island. I hope you enjoy the photos – a joyful celebration of all things red, orange, gold and yellow.
