National Park Treasures

*


Last weekend we took a late afternoon walk in the National Park around the bays to Dolphin Point. I am happy to report that the walk was festooned with treasures.





common coastal wildflower



A crevice of tiny moss plant







My favourite lichen dotted rocky outcrop



the beauty of a dessicated bracken



The carbuncular trunk of the Pandanus Tree



Spider egg sac



A young Pandanus plant



The homeward rise



The last surfers of the day







The sun is dropping low



and the Chinese lanterns have closed up for the night.

  9. Moonshin,
    I am happy that you are enjoying nature more...does the pandanus smell? the fallen fruit can be sweet smelling...

    The camera is a tiny point and shoot so it gets stuffed into my pocket...

  11. it doesn't? well...i guess the one in my backyard is of different family. we call it pandan too...so, i thought it was the same since it looks kind of similar.
