Carnival of Flowers 60th · 09:36 AM

Toowoomba's own flower festival is gearing up next month for its 60th anniversary. For those in the area, this is a horticulturalist's must-see. The gardeners here have worked tirelessly to cultivate these beauties in the midst of changing weather patterns and a long-standing water shortage.

An event of lots of colour and beautiful scents...

Me too - very well done; the other two are striking as well.

I do like how the 12-24 renders colours.

Very very nice saturated blues; love the exposure control on the #3!

Again a little Roundup goes a long way.
