But then again, a rather similar waterfall on similar rocks, and I didn't feel the urge to swim in this pool either - upper Mokau Stream, Te Urewera National Park a few days ago.

Omeru - a new one on me. And it happens I'll be visiting Kaukapakapa in a week or so with my mother, but she being 92 I doubt we'll manage any bush tracks. Around the churchyard instead, to see the grave of my great-grandparents. But perhaps there's a shady spot for a picnic in that reserve, instead of a café for lunch?
Lovely waterfall, but I don't think I'd swim in that pool!

a tree tangle like this?

Your Oxalis seems nicely bug-eyed in its symmetry! Here's another similarly furled up tightly after drizzly rain. I get the impression they open and furl in response to light levels rather than the rain itself. This will bear double-clicking for the refracted images of the background in the droplet lenses.

And I'm waiting for the last stanza of CK Stead's poem -
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . This is the life that goes
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . godlessly on
a poem without words
a gift without conditions
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . a present
without a past.Where I have to insert strings of dots to approximate his formatting, but instead the silo version would be GODLESSLY ON (etc) only bigger?

Spectacular art.
Set up shot with sea gull.
Photography not bad either, especially that one. But what do you mean, set up shot? The gull was only a sruggling actor trying to extend its wing while perched on a lamp-post?
