A large silver tree fern.
The lush forest around the lagoon.
More ferns near the lagoon.

Mike in front of a rather large tree!
Mike thought the tree needed a hug! :)
Then he decided to climb it!
Looking up another large tree.
We may not have conquered Ngauruhoe or Tongariro that day, but Mike conquered the tree stump!
Then he tried to do his Karate Kid pose on it! If only he hadn't done an Ironman a couple days earlier, and the Tongariro Crossing that day, perhaps his balance would have been better! ;)
A furry tree!
Mike sporting a new hair-do!
Me sporting a "new-do", tree fern style!
A rapid in the river next to the Owhango Preserve.
The colour on this rock caught my eye.
