Sunday Drive..

Today FG and I went for a Sunday drive, set out with not too much idea where we were going to go. But the road took us from the West Coast where we live to the East Coast, I guess NZ is a bit unique when you can drive from Coast to Coast without too much drama.
This is Tapapakanga Regional Park on the Firth of Thames. Lots of huge and beautiful Pohutukawa's and FG is standing next to one.

A very large tree but it’s low lying….strong winds perhaps made it lie down? A sore knee for FG?

@happypat Good spotting no not knee.. some skin off his calf.. joys of thinner skin and getting older..
Pohutukawa often grow Luke this but have a pretty good hold on the land.

I’m glad you put FG in the shot. It gives scale for this very large tree. It looks like a very healthy tree inspite of being sidewise.
