My life is busy, but I’m never too busy to enjoy what’s around me whether I’m walking down the street, travelling, or cooking breakfast on a Sunday. I look for beauty, & joy in simple pleasures. Life is too short to be so busy that I miss life itself!

Back home to the geraniums in my garden… They’re flowering! #Blooms #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #Flowersonline

I visited Auckland Art Gallery in the few hours before my flight home. There are a diverse range of exhibitions & works, including Brett Graham’s ‘Wastelands’, 2024 (www.aucklandartgallery.com/whats-on/exh...), which debuted at the 60th Venice Biennial. It’s a powerful & meaningful installation!
