a trip i couldn't have made it by myself - Rotorua

a walk in rotorua redwood forest was so serene and energizing! how i wish i could go tracking everyday there! these gigantic trees made me felt so tiny among them.

despite their gigantic sizes and tough looks, the skin of this type of tree is surprisingly soft.

the ground was soft too, it felt like walking on a carpet.

doesn't it look like a deer's head?

was wondering what this white lump is, when i blew at it, i saw hundreds of spider babies running up and down within it. arh!!!

leaves in different shapes.

i love the golden and pale greenish gray colours on them.

those are my grandma's feet. I didn't expect we would visit this forest so i was wearing flip flop, not suitable for tracking but still quite comfy because the ground was dry and soft.
