#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A group of five women (late teens?) in jeans & t-shirts and sundresses are all standing on a footbridge over a meandering river.
Laughter ringing over the water as they watch it flow to sea.
The sweet smell of camelias in the air.
A tiny new human has decided that she is MOST unhappy.
Dad's trying with the back pats, the gentle bouncing, the rocking back and forward but NOPE.
Bleating like a little lamb as Granny collects her for a snuggle and then...
Quiet...
(New Dad looking VERY relieved.)
A woman (40s?) is trying to take a selfie of herself, her mum and her aunt.
All howling with laughter as they realise every picture is of their nostrils, their chins and of the crumbs from the cake they've just been enjoying.
Oh well!
They're having fun anyway!
Now for more cake!
A man (20s?) is sitting in a sunny spot in a cafe.
Eating a sandwich with all sign of enjoyment.
Looking dreamily out the window.
A laptop bag by his feet.
There's work for later, but for now this time's for him.
A tiny human (1?) has decided that she'd rather like to chomp on the lunch menu Mum's looking at.
Mouth open expectantly.
Watching...
Waaaatching...
Mum distracted!
Ha!
CHOMP!
(numnumnum)
Any typos spotted in this post are enjoying a very sunny spring day. if typos spotted they'll be contemplating an afternoon nap after a very busy weekend, maybe with the window open so they can enjoy all the nice flower smells in the air.

@georgepenney@sunny.garden Camellias and a newborn in the same paragraph is doing a lot of quiet work. Which one actually showed up first, the baby or the smell?

@georgepenney@sunny.garden We had the window open at work and the bird song was magnificent. I may work in the centre of town, but it's a small enough town that birds are welcome 🐦🕊️🦆

@georgepenney@sunny.garden "The sweet smell of camelias in the air."
I never knew that flower had a scent. Even the fancy house of Chanel claims they had to create an approximation of what it might smell like because the real thing had no scent. Learn something new every day.

@georgepenney@sunny.garden OOh I love when the flower scents come in the window. And enjoy Springtime for all of us until it comes back round up here.
