Rose Garden Festival @ Parnell

Went to the Rose Garden Festival at Parnell yesterday.. This is the first time I've been to the rose garden although I live nearby.. Hehehe..

White Roses


Mixture of white and pinkish roses

More white roses.. As you may have noticed the background, they sell paintings at the festival too. Most of the paintings are nature related ie: flowers, sea, mountains etc.

Purplish-pink roses

Red Roses..

At this point, I really feel like plucking some of it home for decoration purposes.
But there are too many people over there. ='(


This is a really old car featured in the festival. It's NZ made in 1939 - Morris S Series E car

Dede playing Ocarina up the hill overlooking the ocean..

Close up pic of how Dede's newly acquired toy looks like.
It's a piece of mouthwood and you can wear it around your neck and functions like a woodwind instrument. Cool eh?

Me enjoying the breeze from the ocean while Dede gives out sound pollution
(due to poor Ocarina playing skills)

Walking down hill from the festival

People bring their pets to the festival too. Many dogs were there to join the crowd.


They sell many arty crafts at the festival too..

Colorful animal jars..

Indian crafts

Chinese crafts

More antique cars...

Drag queens were there to spice up the event!

There were free buses which brought us from the main stop to the festival so we did not need to walk that far. Sooooo nice =)
