#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

In a library: A woman (50s?) with a gloriously messy bun, wearing a tartan dress is embroidering a cross-stich sampler.
An overspilling basket of colourful thread at her feet.
A tranquil expression on her face. People browsing shelves around her.

In a library: A teen (15?) is furiously writing in a notebook. Dense slanting words. Head resting on the desk, air focused. She's got things on her mind and it's imperative gets it all down NOW.

A woman (30s?) in a straw boater hat with flowers on the brim, a floral dress and bare feet is ambling along. A tiny black dog at her side with little legs a jaunty blur. Stopping every now and then to inspect a promising tree or flower. They've got nowhere to be. It's all about the journey.

A couple (80s?) are sitting across from each other in a cafe.
A server brings two individual quiches and they inspect them, cut them both in half and swap. Sharing two different flavours.
Elbows up, knives and forks deployed.
There's trencherwork to be done!

A man (30s?) walks out of a supermarket with a cloth bag of groceries and then carefully begins packing some sturdy panniers on his bike.
A small tent and backpack strapped to the back.
A whirligig tied to the handlebars. A faint breeze making it spin.
