Please be seated - Thematic Photographic 331

This week Carmi is extending an invitation to us to take a chair. See other people's ideas here.

I found this rare bird sitting comfortably at the Auckland Botanical Gardens.
















Sitting quietly, doing nothing,
Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.

      She's great, isn't she? She wasn't very talkative, though.

      I thought she was a very appropriate post - I've been sick for several days with a nasty throat infection, so she cheered me up!

    Sculptures like this are fun. What's it made of?

      It's metal of some sort, Bob - I've tried to find out but can't find an answer.

    It was a two-seater sofa in that room with the tiger skin. Made a mistake over the dates, going to Spain the weekend after Easter, not the Easter weekend!! Senior moments, I'm afraid!
