The wonders of nature!

The wet and wild weather of the last few days had got us bears pondering about the power and awe of nature - yes, we don't spend all day thinking about Nutella! We do hope our Norfolk branch bears haven't been blown away on their recent trip up north! On the subject of nature we'd like to introduce our new member Kiwi, who is, oddly enough, a kiwi who became such a good friend that he emigrated to Suffolk when we recently returned from New Zealand. He showed us some interesting natural phenomena in NZ and here are a couple of examples:-



Here we are resting after a strenuous climb to the top of NZ's tallest tree, which was even taller than 100 Blue Bears. Kiwi wished he had the power of flight at this point!




And what about this for a strange sight! Clearly the work of aliens from another planet, we thought, or ancient dinosaur eggs from prehistoric times. But on closer examination and a quick chat with Kiwi, we learnt these weird rocks had once been embedded in the cliffs down which we had earlier scrambled. We will be sure to include these boulders in the NZ chapter of our Friendly Planet guide.
