Sometimes I sit and think ... Sometimes I just sit....

Came across this lady yesterday and she seemed to be in a world of her own .. the phrase just popped to mind straight away ... This garden is at Cornwall Park and it looks to me to be one of the many dormant craters that are around Auckland City .. It is always colourful with seasonal flowers..
Today is Waitangi Day which is New Zealand National Holiday when we celebrate the signing of the Treaty between the Maori and European 178 years ago.. It is often marked with protest but this year seems to have gone without too much problems..

Looks like a wonderful place to sit and contemplate whatever, very pretty. We had plenty of protests here this Australia Day unfortunately.

I think your new prime minister has gone out of her way to mend any broken bridges perhaps! A new face is sometimes all it needs! Beautiful public garden.

Happy Waitangi Day. It looks like a beautiful spot to just sit.
