Remember those cob bread loaves you used to be able to buy, maybe you still can. I remember going out for lunch in Auckland City and I ordered Fish Chowder. It came in a 1/2 cob loaf, that had, had the inside scooped out, leaving just the crust. It was then filled with fish Chowder. It looked and tasted amazing. As you drank the chowder, you could rip off bits of bread and dip it in. Such a great idea.

This spider did a great job making a web.
We went for a walk along a beach and nearly walked into a seal, we thought it was a log.
