@quixote@mastodon.nz I hadn't really noticed them before, but I think they're pretty fascinating now!

Umbrella mosses and lichens in lush greens and purples on the forest floor on (edit: Ulva Island, not) Stewart Island Rakiura.
Some of those mosses look a bit like tarantulas, but I promise they're not. I would've been running away rather than taking photos otherwise...

@Plantwizard@mastodon.social Yep, native fern to NZ. It's described as having "moderate" hardiness to frost. Full info here if you'd like it (https://www.nativeplants.nz/microsorum-pustulatum.html)

@ronsboy67@mas.to Yes! Ulva Island is great! I haven't been through my pics from there yet - might take a day or two to get to them, so hopefully some of the photos of Yellowheads, Kaka and Kakariki come out ok 🤞

We had some time on beautiful Stewart Island, Rakiura, earlier this week. The Oban harbour at Halfmoon Bay hosts a number of seabirds, including albatrosses, muttonbirds (Shearwaters), and terns.
I managed to get some shots of this albatross (White-capped, I think) as it ran along the water as part of its take-off.

Our clematis did really well this year. This was probably the best it's looked since we got it...

Some more lichen detail from the wooden seat outside the local shop. I think there are examples here of crustose (grey crusty one at the very bottom with raised plateaux), foliose (blue-grey lobed one on the lower right that looks like waves in a storm), leprose (powdery yellow one in the bottom right corner that's growing on something else), and fruticose (grey-green branched one top left) species, all in one shot.
These are growing between two of the slats forming the back of the seat, a shadier and more protected spot than the previous post which was of part of the sitting surface of the seat.

Lichen on a wooden seat just outside our local corner shop. The seat is pretty heavily colonised by lichen, with different species growing on top, between, and behind the slats.
This is a 40 image photo stack, hand held (well, kneeling on the ground and propped against the bench, holding my breath so as to be as wobble-light as possible).
