you mean you can’t see my 3D shots or that your photo isn’t Nora?
Ha ha, both actually - though I must admit I've been too lazy to download the thingy that will let me see the 3D, and I'd hate anyone to get cross-eyed trying 'ocular tricks' over some Ivy Leaf Toadflax : )

Well, yes, short sighted and astigmatism and wearing glasses. Didn't know that would stop me getting the 3D effect.

Jos,
you don't need a thingy, just look at the large version, let your eyes cross and look at the image that will appear between the other two, I can do it really easily now that I've had a few goes. You need to be about 30-40cm from your screen and try not moving your head around too much

Maybe my eyes are too close together, cant seem to cross them far enough : )

Jos,
It's your brain that does the stitching, you just have to get that third picture in the middle and move to and fro a bit and it should almost snap int focus. I can do it really easily now.
Here's one from a framing job today, a bunch if introduced beetles and things to control gorse and ragwort and stuff. It was a leaving present for someone. I have to get back about 50cm for this one. I think it depends on how far apart the two photos were taken. -
My Bay tree doing one of it's infrequent flowering. And beetly bug.

Spectacular. That little camera does a good job. Well, in your hands of course. ;-)

That is such a pretty beetle I had to look it up. It looks like the "Fungus-Eating Ladybird" which is apparently from Australia and likes to eat powdery mildew in vege gardens.
Which New Zealand Insect? = awesome.

Hooray! The kowhai are out. Lots of them at the Okura River reserve.

Kowhai trees sprinkled through the gorgeous bush by the Okura River.

I think kowhais are prettiest in bush. Grown as specimen trees they often look straggly and lost. They need their green friends. :-)

Getting close to our blueberries. Apparently we're all having pancakes when they're ripe.
;-)

Jos,
I agree with the kowhai by themselves, they look quite grumpy most of the year
We had fish and chips at the Heads today

I like the seagulls caught mid-flight and mid-squawk.
I think kowhai are regarded as one of NZ's rare deciduous trees. They do look scrawny over the winter but I'm a great fan of their springtime display in streets and gardens and must-have accessories, the tui. -

Kowhai arnt deciduous - the kotukutuku -tree fuchsia - is the only tree native that is deciduous (there are some wee groundlings that shed on a seasonal basis,,,)

Some dramatic stands of these on the Otira side of Arthurs Pass. Lovely red trunks in the Winter.
Aren’t ribbonwoods deciduous too? I guess they’re more shrubs than trees.
PS will I be seeing you soon?

What cheeky gulls, Jos!

Yo- Lilith!

Today I spread all my compost from last summer, and it is FABULOUS! Masses of lovely dark pink wriggling wormies amidst the beautifully rotted down earth... I found an interesting grub which is an unknown to me. I wonder if any of you clever folk know it?

Islander, in reply to
Stand on that thing! Looks like a porina to me-
-
Islander, in reply to
I am getting confused - no ribbonwoods/lacebarks et al drop their leaves on the Coast. The *only* one that does is kotukutuku/fuschia (and during winter, you will see its reddish-brown branches everywhere - but no leaves on it.)
Incidentally, it's one native tree you shouldnt bother to try & make a fire with...

ribbonwoods
Not sure where these ones grow. What I think of as ribbonwoods are much smaller...skinny things with branches that grow almost straight up against the trunk.

Islander, in reply to
Well..thankyou! From childhood, grew up with what seems to be a myth (kotukutuku the only deciduous etc/etc...) I certainly know that both lacebark & ribbonwood (tree) were used as plaiting/woven material...
