#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (4?) wearing a plaid shirt and sensible jeans and gumboots is walking through a feijoa orchard, munching fruit as she speaks VERY sternly to a flock of geese waddling along behind her. A woman (60s?) wearing a very fashionable outfit is pulling a pose in a leafy alley way in a small country town. A photographer crouching down to take a picture. An assortment of clothes hanging on a nearby tree branch. A small human (5?) on a bike stopping to see what this is all about. A woman (40s?) is coasting down a hill on a sunny yellow pushbike. Legs out to the side. A straw hat fastened securely on long hair. A the long skirt of her green dress bunched up in her lap. A tiny human (1?) has just spotted not one, but TWO trucks full of bright red apples passing her on the road. With great purpose she points at the apple trucks, then looks at everyone waiting at the lights around her. This is something that MUST be noticed! A weka* is circling around a picnic table. A tiny dog (teacup mousehound?) is sitting in a basket and Weka is increasingly curious. Is this thing a sandwich? Could it maybe... steal it? BUT WHAT IS THIS?! It barks? Hmm. Nope. Maybe it'll go inspect the barbeque instead. (Continued Below)

#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (4?) on a bright pink bike is told to stop at the lights. When the man goes green, she grabs Dad's wheelchair and coasts across, feet off the pedals. She lets go on the other side and is OFF. Dad leisurely rolling along behind her. A woman (30s?) resembling Tilda Swinton walks into a cafe with a motley bunch of fresh-picked garden flowers in a glass of water. She sets them on a table and waits for a friend who walks in moments later wearing dusty biker boots. Grins, hugs and serious lunch chatter commences. A very composed man (80s?) with long silver hair, wearing neatly ironed jeans and a blue jumper, finishes his cafe lunch and walks over to the kitchen to nod decorously at the owner, saying: "Thank you so very much. I enjoyed that a lot. See you on Friday." The owner grins: "Awesome!" At the beach, two gloriously eccentric women (70s?) in flowing dresses are sitting at a picnic table with a bottle of wine and two ornate goblets before them. Sipping their wine, looking at the view. Every now and then letting out glorious cackles that echo over the whisper of the waves. A couple (70s?) are wandering along the edge of the dunes on a long stretch of beach. Stopping every few minutes to cheerfully evaluate a new driftwood find, a rock, or an interesting bird. Hair ruffled by a faint breeze. The scent of the sea and nearby pine trees strong in the air.

#Spotted at a Country Easter Fair in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (3?) is full of all the woe. Lip quivering. Mum says: "What's wrong?" Small Human wails: "There's TOO MANY THINGS and I am having VERY BIG FEELINGS!" Mum picks her up for a hug. "One bite at a time. That's how we do it." A tiny human (2?) has spotted a tiny puppy. (Chihuahua cross tribble?) Suddenly, patting Tiny Puppy is all Tiny Human wants to do. But how? Ah! She'll run in front of the puppy and go floppy. Her body is now a floor noodle. She can't POSSIBLY move until Tiny Puppy says hello. A man (30s?) in farm clothes is talking to friend (70s?) Friend ask: "How ya doin' lately with everythin' going on." He sighs and shrugs. "We're managing." Friend says: "We've got some spare diesel in the tank on the farm that we're not usin' if ya need it." "Yeah. I'd appreciate that." Two men (40s?) in farm clothes and gumboots* are standing side by side watching people come and go from the fair. One says to the other: "I thought two was hard, ya know. Then they turn thirteen. Jeez thirteen's hard." His friend gives him a comforting man pat on the shoulder. A tiny human (2?) has dropped a chip (oh no!) Maybe if he stands on it... it'll make it go away. Dad says: "Did you just drop a chip?" Tiny Human shakes his head vehemently. "Think ya might have.." "No! No I didn't!" "Then what's that under your shoe little fella?" "A chip but it's not mine!"

Here's an oddity I #spotted on #Guernsey a few years back. Very much a grab shot against the light, so heavily GIMP'd, but it's apparently a #Subaru Sambar Dias Classic, although I would have guessed #Daihatsu #Hijet. Later Sambars were re-badged Hijets, so that might be true. If ever there was a #WeirdCarMastodon candidate, I'd say this was it. Gotta love a #kei car! #ClassicCars #OnlyVans

#Spotted this in a Norwich car park last month. Irish plates on a Suzuki Hustler. My pic doesn't convey how tiny it is - I should have parked next to it! Gotta love a #kei car! #weirdcarmastodon

#Spotted before Christmas, around Guildford. I'm hoping they got a bargain... #Fisker #Cars #WeirdCarMastodon (probably)
