An aerial shot of New Zealand from November 2008. I’m pretty sure it’s of the Marlborough Sounds, at the top of the South Island.
From the China Gardens, Dunedin, New Zealand, December 2008. Designed & funded by the Chinese Government it is meant to represent a traditional Chinese garden.

A native bird feeding on a native plant. Taken by my sister, a prominent Botanist, from December 2008.

Why not pop over to Tara’s Gallery at Sticky Fingers for more arboreal artistry? (click the pic):
