Taking the long way home

Because it was a (rare these days) sunny afternoon, I did a little photoshoot of some of my favourite sights in Grey Lynn park on my way home from work. When I first moved to Grey Lynn, when I was 18, the area confused me. I called up my friend and said "I don't know how to get to the supermarket." She said "see the church that looks like a cellphone? Follow it and you'll get there." It was great advice, though I wonder if it would look like a cellphone to someone looking at it now.
This path always seems magical.

I walked under the sculpture by Inia Taylor...

Past the one by Richard McWhannell...
Past my favourite house in all of Auckland...
...and then got a ride home the rest of the way. Hope your weekend is full of some of your favourite sights.

Flowers, flowers and the smallest house on the street

On my walk today I found this car covered in pink confetti...
Gathered a sneaky bunch of spring flowers...
Found yet another beautiful magnolia tree...
...and finally took a photo of this tiny sculpture in Potters Park. A little villa too small even for a mouse. I'm not sure who it's by but I love it.
Here it is up close. It's made of copper I think.
...and with a dog paw print to give you an idea of the scale!
I like the way it's so small and easy to miss. It's like a reward for keeping an eye out for interesting things.
