After a lazy Sunday morning Briggsy and I decided to check out Abel Tasman National Park this afternoon. We walked in along the track for an hour or two then clambered back across granite boulders, and golden sand beaches along the coast.
A typical Abel Tasman National Park coastal scene. We were impressed by the tenacity of that Manuka tree clinging to life on that rock outcrop.
A pied Shag drying its wings on one of the many golden beaches.
The sky was grey and moody most of the afternoon. Some strange looking cloud formations in this shot.
Briggsy discovered this crab in a rock pool. He was busy trying to prise open a mussel and apparently didn't see us sneaking up on him. Even the flash from the camera didn't seem to phase him.
By the time we walked back to the van we were both very hungry. A feed of fish and chips in Motueka saved us from what seemed like imminent starvation.
