Nikau

If you are wondering why so many shots of NZ…I’m in NZ at the moment, post holidays, with a new camera. So trying things out 🙂 Tuesday I’m on the road again so you can expect more things about publishing from next week!

In the meantime…some photos of Nikau on my property. Nikau are New Zealand’s only native palm and the world’s southern-most palm…it’s a cool tree.
