Nature's Palette: April in Brisbane

There's something mesmeric about the way Brisbane's light filters through the bougainvillea and late-autumn liquidambars when Easter falls in April. The air is crisp and invigoratingΓÇöperfect for those who yearn for an al fresco celebration. Bougainvillea adds pops of magenta, weaving vitality through outdoor spaces. Anyone walking down the streets of Paddington will notice liquidambars turning copper and crepe myrtles dropping their last papery flowers, offering new layers of beauty to the city's panoramic scenes, ideal for wedding photography.
