A few images of a frond unfolding. It's a work in progress and may come to nothing. There's something very Kiwi about this natural motif. Air NZ carries stylised ferns on its jets.

Monitor with right-of-way not spotted right away
Who gives way on footbridge, Yellow-spotted Monitor or unspotted bird watcher? Naturally, dinkum locals have right-of-way. I step aside, Spo...

Very arty photos today. I hadn't realised that was what the air new Zealand logo was based on.
ReplyDeleteLovely unfurling fern photos. Beautiful light!
ReplyDeleteVery nice patterns of ferns - but not quite as beautiful as I remember the silver ferns.
ReplyDeleteMosura: I almost had arty in caption but fear its rhyming companion.
ReplyDeleteJenny: Thanks. It's easier getting up with the soft, warm sun these days.
Mick: Nothing beats the silver fern (bar Oz netball), does it?
Hi Tony
ReplyDeleteI was expecting a furled tree Fern frond, which has that look of the Shepherd's Crook (my only Kiwi comment, I promise).
I loved the coloured leaves on the pool. People think that evergreen trees do not drop their leaves. No. They lose their leaves all the time - as your photo shows - beautifully.

beautiful set of photos Tony, you've got a good eye.
ReplyDeleteDenis: Ta. Didn't do the leaves full justice. I'll be having another go at them.
ReplyDeleteDuncan: Too kind. My eye sees what's there. I envy those whose talent uncovers what others couldn't see.
Excellent images, Tony. Hope the Kingfishers come in for you.
