The Koru (fern) is New Zealand's national symbol and stands for new life, growth, peace and strength. During a hike through the beautiful Marlborough Sounds I came across this unfurrled fern being beautifully backlit by the sun. For me this photo captures and symbolizes all my adventures in this amazing country.

While doing a survey on gecko's in the New Zealand bush we found this baby green gecko. We put it on a note board to take some basic measurements when I snapped this photo. Its colours work perfectly on the green note board.

On an expedition to record dolphin calls for the study of dolphin communication near boats, this Sooty shearwater flew by. Though all around me many dolphins and whales where showing off their spectacular jumps, I couldn't help but notice how beautifully this bird's reflection danced in the wavy water.
