| Fiordland National Park |
As a whole, New Zealand has been much less green than I expected. Of course, it is the end of a hot, dry summer, so the grasses are yellow and there's lots of dust, just like home at the end of August. The exception to this? Fiordland. Despite currently being in a drought, most of the foliage is still green. Pine trees, beech trees, ferns of all shapes and sizes, shrubs, grass, little flowers, vines, lichen, and covering everything,
moss. So many different kinds of plants, each one a slightly different colour than the last! And when the sun twinkles through the canopy, surreal colours that I just couldn't catch... but I tried. So here are some pictures of
green things! :)
