#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand
Two young humans (6&8?) are seeing who can swing the highest.
Side by side.
Back and forward.
Kicking their legs out.
Gleefully trying to touch the sky.
A small human (3?) is skipping along next to Dad while holding a threadbare plushie bunny. With utmost solemnity he says: "Dad I REALLY think you should carry me."
Dad says: "Why'd ya think that mate?"
"Cos Rabbit's got VERY TIRED legs."
A woman (70s?) wearing a regal sapphire blue turban is having a tea party with two small humans (2 &4?).
Cups, saucers and a teapot set out neatly on a big floral scarf.
A big magnolia tree overhead.
Curious ducks waddling over to investigate.
A tiny human (2?) is EXTREMELY INDIGNANT that a very elderly dog (pug cross snuffle beast?) is not showing more sympathy over the fact that her shoe has come off. Meanwhile Elderly Dog seems quite unbothered by his bad manners and is inspecting a nearby shrub for widdling potential.
Two men (30s & 50s?) wearing high vis and cement spattered work boots are sitting on the back of a ute*. Eyes half closed to the spring sunshine.
Legs swinging amiably as they both eat sandwiches.
Any typos spotted in this post were rather charmed to spot a very special tea party today. If typos spotted, they'll be trying not to laugh at the sturm und drang coming from a small human who is berating a completely unconcerned elderly pug about his lack of sympathy for her shoeless plight.
*A ute is a pickup or truck.
