#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny new human is being snuggled in Mum's arms as Mum sits in a park, gazing out over a gently rushing river.
Tiny Human does not care for the view, however.
Tiny Human's fast asleep.
Blowing little milk-drunk bubbles.
A picture of total serenity.

Two gangly and tall teens (14 & 16?) are being supervised by their very short mum as they offload two kayaks from the back of a ute.*
Guffawing, goofing and making a ruckus.
Mum threatening to whip them into line with a kayak paddle.
For some reason they're not taking her seriously...

In a small country town: Two tree doctors are cutting down a lemon scented gum on the side of the road while a woman (30s?) directs traffic.
Giving everyone who passes a big jazz hands wave.
The smell of Australia wafting on the breeze in Aotearoa.

Three mud covered small humans (3-6?) wearing farm clothes and gumboots* are rampaging down a shady walking track.
Roaring instructions to each other about the BIG MONSTERS that they're running away from.
Gleeful cackles as they hide behind a clump of fern trees.

A woman (50s?) is drinking a hot chocolate, saying to a friend: "I just feel like I need to expand my horizons, you know. I feel like I need MORE..."
Her friend says with absolutely seriousness: "Have ya tried knitting?"
