Going Places - Otari Wilton's Bush

So here's a place I haven't visited nearly as many times as I'd like to. It's a beautiful patch of native bush only fifteen minutes walk from my home, I'm actually embarrassed to say I've only visited this wonderful place a handful of times. When I say 'patch of native bush' it's actually massive, and it has the only botanic garden dedicated to 100% native plants. how amazing is that?! It actually has quite a lot of birdlife as well but when I went I didn't feel like lugging my big lens around so I just took my small lens, I was going mainly to soak in the fresh air and for plant based inspiration anyway. Here are some photos from Otari, can you taste the fresh air...

The bottom image is glow-worms if you're wondering! Obviously they don't glow during the day but it was cool to see them anyway!
