Beech trees near Paradise

@Calusarus: Yes the lichen or whatever it is on the trees was fascinating. Unfortunately I got the exposure (or something!) wrong here so it doesn't show up as much as I would have liked. Thanks for the visit and comment.

@Jason: Oh there you go again...trying to make me open up my camera manual...why don't you guys just move to Auckland? It would be so convenient.

ANYWAY, remember how you discovered the exposure was set at +3 (I think) on my cam? This was one of lord-knows-how-many shots I took with that setting, so I figure that didn't help much!

@Anthony Lambert: Thanks!
