Framed in the lichen covered branch of a maple tree, a tiny tauhou (#Zosterops lateralis lateralis) waits for a spot at the feeder.

Tiny little spider hiding on the tip of a Horoeka Lancewood (#Psuedopanax ferox) leaf. This confuses the #iNaturalist #AI into thinking it's a knobbled orbweaver.
It’s actually a Sooty orbweaver (Salsa fuliginata).

A blossom on the #Pittosporum hedge I was trimming. Looks pretty nice. It did need a trim.
Not sure which “Cheesewood” this is.
