I love these guys, big concrete heads that looks so human - they remind me of the statues on Easter island. I like sculptures, I like artistic creations that stand out. This one is at my work on display in amongst different types of grasses and I've been eying it up all week but it's a pity we have such a small garden at home.
We are in for a wet week ahead, rain warnings for today and tomorrow not that I'm complaining as so many parts of the country are still in drought mode - Auckland is facing major water restrictions and they are down to about 40% water.
It's time to take out the warm winter jerseys, socks and blankets here - we are beginning to get into hibernation mode.
Stay safe. Kia kaha

...before I retired I was in the nursery business for fifty years and learned that many things grew better in the mud than the dust! A garden takes on a special look when it has a sculpture or two. Get out there and do a rain dance!!!
I like this one!
Wet around here too...
Thanks for visiting, this is pre-lockdown, so just a light... travelling on the double deckers gives you nice perspectives some times!
Keep safe!
Drizzle here today and first thing the temperature was double what it has been lately.
That's a gorgeous statue. I'd be tempted by it too.
I did some grocery shopping yesterday and I picked up a box of thin wafers to go on a cheese plate. I didn't notice until I opened the package that they were made in New Zealand. They are from a company called Rutherford & Meyer and they were quite tasty.
I like the sculpture. It would look great nestled amongst a group of native plants.
Not raining here yet, but it is meant to. Enjoy hibernating!
I have one of those "head" statues sitting in the corner of my lounge. It definitely makes a statement. The rain has started to come down in Auckland but it's not the drenching that we need ... yet.
The weather is something we all battle with one way or another around the world and to a lesser or greater extent. Friends in Hawkes Bay complain (as I used to) of winds and 16 ºC temperatures. If I had that strength of wind and 16 ºC here on Lewis I would thing that was a good summer's day! On the other hand in 45 years we have had 3 official droughts (ie our drinking water was low) which is funny for an Island covered in lochs. We simply brought other lochs on line. So our concept of drought and your concept (where you really do have significant implications from lack of rain) is vary far apart. On the other hand our concept of a heatwave would be 26 ºC which would be a pleasant spring day for you.
By the way I just love public art.
Incredible that you still haven't had enough rain. Hope this week's rain fills the reservoirs.
I really like that head.
I really like that head statue. It would look great in the garden surrounded by plants. Have a wonderful day!
Wet weekend here on the other side of the globe as well, even though we're putting away our winter things and getting out the summer gear...
Pirate spoke to friends in Bombay south of Auckland today..they have had the first rain in six weeks
