Heading back north, this time on the eastern side of the mountains.
 149.29 Kb A Kea, New Zealand's mountain parrot. Fun to watch, but apparently very destructive. He's not threatening me, but playing with another parrot out of the picture. |
 159.34 Kb Another Kea. This one is eyeing my shoelaces, or perhaps my shoes themselves... |
 78.67 Kb Mount Cook the next morning. Quite a different aspect from sunset - it's snowing in the high country - we heard later that there was a good deal of rain in the high country as well. |
 73.12 Kb Kea on the New Zealand flag. Very similar to the Australian flag, but the stars are red with white borders and the extra star in the cross is missing. |
 93.60 Kb Oh, No, RUN, he's coming right at us! And it did too, landing on the balcony just over our heads. Same Kea as in the previous photo. |
 102.77 Kb Suprisingly enough, a Chaffinch, which is an English bird. This one was practically on our feet, doing a little dance which involved fluttering his wings. Wonder if it was the "feed me" dance? |
 64.29 Kb Mount Cook from the far end of Lake Pukaki (sp?). Mount Cook isn't at all visible today, but it's a beautiful view nonetheless. |
 100.98 Kb Lake Tekapo, a very popular recreational lake |
 86.82 Kb Another view at Lake Tekapo |
