autumn trees in the southern alps
Lake Pearson, near Arthur's Pass
Out my window in Auckland...I love that tree on the right, I will miss it dearly when I leave.
Oh, and the old volcano in the background there...but will NOT miss the ridiculous amount of construction you see there...
On the Kepler Trek...I think it was beech forest. lots of hanging moss
Tane Mahuta, or "king of the forest"...a huge 2000 year old kauri tree
Yes, that me and my friends Duffer, Paul and Elyse at the bottom
I don't know what this one is called, but its at Cheltenham beach in Devonport, across Auckland Harbor from the city
also in Devonport...I'm surprised this is the only outfitted tree I've seen, they're all so great for climbing!
Ancient Kauri trees in Northland, near Tane Mahuta
Tree ferns on the Coromandel Peninsula
Tree ferns and pine trees on the Coromandel...love it.
I *think* this is called a Pinus radiatus...but not sure. Favorite tree here
Mt Eden, in Auckland
Trees on Mt. Eden in Auckland...they just beg you to sit under them with a book or ipod!
Imported tree in the Domain w/ awesome roots.
Autumn's about to de-leaf many of these trees, so I figured I'd take a break from studying and show one of my absolute favorite things about this country, that I will miss dearly when I go home to boring old oaks and maple, etc.
Flight's pushed back as hoped: July 15th is the new official departure date...weird, only like 2 months left here...nooooo!
