Big Girl was off with my digital camera busy snapping everything in sight, as she is very keen to help out with the new blog! (Apologies for the poor light in this photo, four o'clock on an autumn day in the wood isn't the best for taking photos)
Little Boy was more interested in looking for fish, unfortunately we didn't see any...
But we did see some magic mushrooms (Amanita Muscaria in case you are interested!)...
And some wonderfully bendy, tactile trees...
This tree stump made us laugh. We decided it looked like a gnome toilet, complete with water in the bowl! (Do they have gnomes in New Zealand? Don't know that Google would answer that question!)
On rounding the corner we bumped into some cows enjoying the trail too...
We weren't afraid of them as we have cows ourselves, and it didn't seem like the cows were bothered either, as they didn't even get up when we walked past!
By now Little Boy was a bit tired, and it was starting to get a little dark so we decided to turn back. You can see the moon making an appearance in this photo...
The only photos I could take now were silhouettes of the striking shapes of different trees against the darkening sky...
It's a Bank Holiday in New Zealand this weekend. I think we might pack a picnic and head back here with OH. Mind you, bank holidays usually mean rain don't they, so we'll have to wait and see.
Take care
