The Spring Equinox, where we welcome new life and light, a perfect balance of day and night into our skies, and a time to enjoy the coming of warmer months and new colour to our world.

Spring is one of my favourite seasons for photography. Flowers are in bloom and transform some of the most barren landscapes into beautiful waves of colour. The evenings slowly start to grow with more opportunities to photograph in the daylight, and the last remnants of snow are starting to melt away into the landscape.

Every year in New Zealand the Russell Lupins bloom during the months of November to December, Spring Time in the Southern Hemisphere. Where the majority grow in the South Island, these floral wonders transform what is usually a colourless landscape of wild tussocks and rocky outcrops into the most stunning scenes of reds, pinks, purples and yellows.

With Aoraki Mount Cook, Lake Pukaki and Russell Lupins in frame, this image is quintessential Spring Equinox in New Zealand.
