The Window
Cobwebs in a window at Lopdell House, Titirangi, catching the morning sun.

The Guard
Teddy has taken residence at the gate to the Lower Huia Dam, drawing attention to the signs about track closures (to protect healthy stands of kauri from the dieback disease which is spread through foot traffic).
Hair
The good folk at Face and Body have a way with words. I am clearly not part of their target demographic, even if we allow for facial hair …
Pinocchio
I found Pinocchios in all sizes, and even a spare nose, at Passion for Paper in Parnell.
Thirteen
… or something about yeast…
Seen yesterday morning at the top of Mount Atkinson, Titirangi, after a pretty chilly night.
Look Down!
“Look Down!” commands the City Daily Photo theme for July. This is what I saw — just don’t tell me I have a foot fetish!
Below: even the swans at Western Springs are looking down!

Swans Looking Down
Preserves and Apostorphies
At the Titirangi Sunday Market: inside the Titirangi War Memorial Hall, sheltered from the on/off showers outside. Sitting at a table, sipping a miso soup, listening to Maria’s flamenco guitar – and looking up to the stage where tasting jars of sweet and savoury preserves beckon (together with a surfeit of apostrophy’s).
You can “Look Down!” on Friday (theme day).
Flower Power
Enjoying the Harbourview Sculpture Trail. (There is a sculpture entitled “flowerpower” right behind me – but I got distracted…)
Woodlands Park Roundabout
Subtle hints at the Woodlands Park roundabout, more forceful message at Face&Body…
Happy Valentines Day.
Or if you are not romantically inclined, you may want to visit the Heart Foundation.
Regret?
Shadow Play
Was it the genius of the artist or of the curator’s sense of humour that made me see faces all over the wall?
