Elephant Rocks Otago.

Located near Duntroon, between Oamaru and Omarama in Otago, the Elephant Rocks are fairly straightforward to find: from near Duntroon, take Livingston-Duntroon Road and follow the signposts until you get to the Elephant Rocks.The Elephant Rocks are massive limestone formations sitting in a sea of grass on private farmland. The rocks were once sand at the bottom of the sea that accumulated 25 million years ago. These sediments were buried and the pressure turned the sand into rock, or limestone. When the whole area of limestone lifted and surfaced, the forces of the wind and water did their part in shaping the limestone.The rocks come in all shapes and sizes, and are popular with climbers, especially for doing some serious bouldering. The area may also give some people a certain sensation of dÃ©jÃ vu; especially those that are fans of â€œThe Chronicles of Narniaâ€ movie: the Elephant Rocks served as a location for Aslanâ€™s camp.

The MV Tuhoe is an historic schooner that was built in 1919 and is now stationed on the Kaiapoi River wharf. This ship was secured in 2004 by the M V Tuhoe Kaiapoi Rivertown Trust to ensure this river icon remained in the town. During the season from October until June the following year the ship regularly sails the Kaiapoi and Waimakariri rivers. The ship is operated by a valued team of volunteers who willingly give their time to ensure that whoever sails on it has a most enjoyable experience. Departing from the Kaiapoi Wharf, you will cruise the lower Kaiapoi and Waimakariri Rivers for a relaxing and peaceful hour. Along your journey you may see lots of river activities including fishermen, trampers on the walkway, some bird life, stunning landscape scenes from the mountains of the Southern Alps to Banks Peninsula and also Pegasus Bay.

Coprinellus is a genus of mushrooms in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus was first described by Petter Karsten in 1879.

The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat, the point that is most forward when the vessel is underway. Both of the adjectives fore and forward mean towards the bow. The other end of the boat is the stern. The bow is the forward part of the hull of a ship or boat, the point that is most forward when the vessel is underway.

Hypholoma fasciculare.

This widely distributed mushroom is fairly common, and is often found fruiting in large, striking clusters on the wood of conifers or hardwoods. When fresh, the clustered caps are bright yellow to greenish yellow--as are the gills and stems. The spore print is purple-brown, and with older specimens you can frequently check this out in the field, due to the clustered growth pattern, by simply lifting a few caps that have covered others. Like many other Hypholoma species, Hypholoma fasciculare is most often found in colder weather.

Coconuts day at the beach.

The coconut comes from the coconut palm tree which grows throughout the tropics and subtropics. The name coconut is derived from 16th century Portuguese sailors who thought the 3 small holes on the coconut shell resembled the human face so dubbed the fruit "coco" meaning "grinning face, grin, or grimace" The word nut was added in English later on.

The basket is 15cm across and a member of the stinkhorn family Phallaceae, which includes some of the strangest fungi The basket fungus forms a small puffball-like "egg" under the soil. The "egg" has a two-layered wall, the outer one lined with jelly. Inside the wall is a mass of brown spores as well as the future basket, tightly folded up. The basket soaks up moisture and BURSTS out of the egg with such force that it sometimes breaks free and rolls across the ground. The spores on the inside of the net become a foul-smelling, olive-green sticky mess - a feast for flies! The sticky spores stick to the flies and get spread by the flies when they fly away. The baskets seldom last for more than a day.

Green vegetable bug.

This pest, is also known in some countries as the green vegetable bug. It occurs throughout the Americas, in various Pacific Islands, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa. First seen in Hawaii in 1961 on Oahu, it has spread to all major islands. The bugs feed by piercing plant tissue with needle-like stylets. The actual feeding puncture is not immediately visible. Adults and nearly all nymphal stages (2nd to 5th nymphal stages) feed on a variety of plant tissue. Succulent parts of the plant and the developing flowers or fruit are preferred. Feeding injury becomes visible sometime after actual feeding. Feeding on flower buds results in premature abscission. Feeding injury on leguminous pods results in seed damage and ultimately distorted development of the pods. Nymphal and adult feeding on macadamia nuts often results in spotting or pitting of the kernels and premature abscission. Soft and spongy tissue under otherwise intact epidermis results when the stink bug feeds on vegetable tissue.

Boat draught markings. FZ200

The draft (American) or draught (British) of a ship's hull is the vertical distance between the waterline and the bottom of the hull (keel), with the thickness of the hull included; in the case of not being included the draft outline would be obtained. Draft determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate. The draft can also be used to determine the weight of the cargo on board by calculating the total displacement of water and then using Archimedes' principle. A table made by the shipyard shows the water displacement for each draft. The density of the water (salt or fresh) and the content of the ship's bunkers has to be taken into account. The closely related term "trim" is defined as the difference between the forward and aft drafts.

Monarch Butterfly.FZ200

The monarch needs no camouflage because it is poisonous to predators; in fact, its vivid colors are designed to ward off critters that may want to eat it. The monarch is poisonous because the developing larvae ingest to xins from the milkweed plant as they feed on the leaves. These chemicals rema in permanently in the monarchâ€™s system, even after the caterpillar metamorphoses to a butterfly. The monarchâ€™s survival is closely linked to the chemical defense system derived from the milk weed toxins and the nutrition supplied to the developing larvae.

Hypholoma fasciculare.

This widely distributed mushroom is fairly common, and is often found fruiting in large, striking clusters on the wood of conifers or hardwoods. When fresh, the clustered caps are bright yellow to greenish yellow--as are the gills and stems. The spore print is purple-brown, and with older specimens you can frequently check this out in the field, due to the clustered growth pattern, by simply lifting a few caps that have covered others. Like many other Hypholoma species, Hypholoma fasciculare is most often found in colder weather.

Hygrocybe/Gliophorus

The waxcaps and woodwaxes include some of our most spectacular gilled fungi, but they are sensitive to pollution and nutrients; as a result, they usually disappear if land is treated with agricultural or arboricultural chemicals. Waxcaps (Hygrocybe species) are grassland saprophytes, while the relatives the woodwaxes (Hygrophorus species) are ectomycorrhizal with trees and shrubs.

Coprinellus disseminatus.Fairy Bonnets.

Coprinellus disseminatus (formerly Coprinus disseminatus; commonly known as "fairies bonnets" or "trooping crumble cap") is a species of agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. Unlike most other coprinoid mushrooms, C. disseminatus does not dissolve into black ink (deliquesce) in maturity. The species was given its current name in 1939 by Jakob Emanuel Lange. The mushroom is edible but not worth eating.

Hericium coralloides.

Description The coral tooth fungus (Hericium coralloides) has been described as our most beautiful species of fungus. It is a member of the group called 'tooth fungi', because their fruit bodies produce tooth-like spines These spines serve the same function (producing spores) as the more familiar gills found on mushrooms The coral tooth fungus is pale whitish in colour, and has branches from which long, fine spines hang down like icicles. When young, the species has a more 'knobbly' appearance and is said to resemble a coral.

New Zealand dotterel. ( Charadrius obscurus&#x29

The New Zealand dotterel is a familiar bird of sandy east coast beaches in the northern North Island, but is sparsely distributed around much of the rest of the country. There are two widely separated subspecies: the northern New Zealand dotterel is more numerous, and breeds around the North Island; the southern New Zealand dotterel was formerly widespread in the South Island, and now breeds only on Stewart Island. Southern New Zealand dotterels are larger, heavier, and darker than northern New Zealand dotterels.

Fatsia japonica Flower.

Fatsia japonica is the most distinctive of all evergreens with large palmate leaves. The lobed leaves can reach 16 inches across and provide contrast in the shade garden. It can be grown in mass plantings on larger sites or as a specimen in smaller gardens. Grow it with ferns for contrast and it is excellent when mixed with large plantings of Rhododendrons to relieve the monotony of dark, medium evergreen foliage. Drumstick-like flowers are otherworldly in appearance but add to the distinctiveness of this shrub. Plant with the usual woodland perennials like hellebores, hostas, solomn's seal and the like. Foliage is excellent in flower arrangements and lasts for weeks when cut. Fatsia japonica is the most distinctive of all evergreens with large palmate leaves.
