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.

    1. 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!

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

  8. 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!
