#Spotted On a Mini Road Trip in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A jersey cow and a sturdy black pony are nestled up next to each other in a paddock in a picturesque valley. Pony's eyes are closed and he's snoozing. Jersey Cow sedately giving Pony's coat a good grooming. Firm friends enjoying a sunny day.
A Kiwi man (20s?) and a German woman (20s?) have sparked up an animated conversation while waiting for coffee in a tiny country cafe. He optimistically says: "Hey, d'ya wanna drink your coffee with me under that nice tree over there? It's really pretty eh."
She says yes.
A sheepdog is a streak of black and white as she belts across a paddock, headed for a flock of sheep. She's on a mission! Nothing can stop her...
Except the two puppies hot on her heels, goofing off, stopping to playfight, chasing their own tails. Tumbling over each other with daft doggy grins.
A woman (40s?) walks out of a small real estate office in a sleepy town, holding a porcelain bowl of steaming hot food and a glass of water. She crosses a road, cheerfully greeting friends, and takes up a seat in a little park. Soaking up the winter sunshine, eating her lunch.
A woman (60s?) has the entirety of a small country town skate park to herself. She's decked out in cargo shorts, a hoodie and sparkly blue sneakers. Her skate board is battered and well loved. Zooming along, her long silver hair streaming behind her, a faint smile on her face.
