Lichen covers many rural buildings and fences in Taranaki.
A touch of the Southern US in New Plymouth!
I am curious what these walls would be used for.
There is a stream to the right, just below the trees and I wonder if the two are connected.
Wild onions are everywhere along the road at this time of year. I love seeing them.
White lilies grow wild in many paddocks around the area.
Good, Random, Fun (you pick!)

A very varied selection of photos. The white lilies are something I'd never imagined growing wild. I'd like to know what those walls are for as well.

ReplyDeleteYes the lilies are one of those invasive species it is hard to be mad about! I know all about moss... those walls are intriguing; they do resemble the kinds of walls built out from shore to make harbours for fishing vessel! Dy's think that river ever flooded enough to require docks??? YAM xx
...let's go on another drive again!
ReplyDeleteLovely post - my fav is the flamingo. It makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
ReplyDeleteIf those walls are old, they could be Maori garden walls built long ago. I studied in anthropology and archaeology and they looked familiar to me.

That old building covered with lichen doesn't need any paint. It's splendid just how it is.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I love the stones.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, love seeing the flamingos! Not so much the lichen on the building.
ReplyDelete...Betty, thanks so much for stopping.
ReplyDeleteI like lichen on old buildings, fences...
