On each of my morning walks around town this week I've seen something interesting. This particular day I was walking past one of the many tiny holiday homes down one of the side streets and spotted this water tank cheerfully decorated in shades of blue. This one has been painted with illustrations of a Tui sitting on what looks to be the flowers of a native flax bush.
Here in Mangawhai and in other small towns sometimes the houses can either be connected to town supply water or they will have 10,000 ltr water tanks so when it rains the water goes directly inside off the roof - usually there is a filter between the tank and the house so that it's safe to drink.
Linking up with Mural Monday and Our World Tuesday.

Someone has artistic skills with an eye for colours. I am also impressed with the system for collecting water.
That's a very pretty mural on the tank. I love the shade of blue in it. :)
...a nice spark of color!
I'm so glad you shared what a Tui is, because I had never heard of this bird before. It's a beautiful mural, lovely colors, and a very unique water collecting system. Great find.
Just like Bleubard and Elizabeth, I had never heard of a tui. I love the colours of the painting. Bright and beautiful!
Oh, what a lovely place - and mural! And Tui :-)
This sure is my dream-house!
Looks like the plants in front of the house just walks over to the tank. Nice.
That is a nice way to brighten it up.
A great way to collect water and the tank looks so much nicer with some colour on it.
Thanks for participating Amy.
And a very jolly illustration it is too.
They did a nice job painting that tank.
Looks amazing Amy, both pretty and colourful, and useful too.. water tanks are such a good idea ✨
Hello, it looks cute! I like the mural on the water tank! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week ahead!
How creative someone is to decorate the tank in that way.
A nice pop of colour on the tank and an interesting system to collect water.
Thanks for explaining and have a great day!

Love the mural. It sounds similar to Key West, Florida. All the older homes were built with a cistern to catch rainwater. They have public water but catching rainwater is a great way to be eco friendly
A lovely mural!
