Check these out from Jaime Walsh, a local garden fan. She has a really good eye and a great zoom lens! The pics are linked to her Flickr photostream. I especially like the one of Wax-eyes tasting new cherry blossoms below.

Open concert goes off!

Yesterday I was privileged to watch The Chain perform an open air concert at at the Lakeside Court in the Hamilton Gardens. So far I have to say a real highlight of the Summer festival! Superb skills and a well pitched sound system brought out a great performance, which was appreciated by the strong crowd.

The Chain are a Fleetwood Mac experience. More about them here… http://www.thechain.co.nz Hot pics after the jump…

During the last song audience members flocked to the front, creating their own little mosh pit as the band showed us all how to dance it up. I hope the audience will forgive me posting the following photos, which show the fun :) . DJ couldn’t help himself, he had to get in on the action too!
