Beautiful Gazania shot at garden of five senses sometime back. I did not realize I have left the entire bunch in storage on the external hard drive due to lack of space and forgot about them. Now that i have found it I will be posting them. Even though if you go to the garden now in scritching 43Degrees C you will not see any of these beauties but thats what photography does makes them immortal and timeless.
