George Penney<p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Spotted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spotted</span></a> While Roaming in Aotearoa <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/newzealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newzealand</span></a> </p><p>A woman (40s?) is mountain biking by a river. She gets to the top of a big hill and whistles, laughing when a wet and muddy spaniel bursts from the water, belts up the bank and down the hill at her side. Pure doggy joy. Paws pounding the dirt. </p><p>A small human (5?) wearing a serious expression is crouched next to a large spiderweb. She's armed with a Special Scientific Investigation Stick but she's not quite sure what to do with it. So she pokes her younger brother instead. Yes. This type of science is far more satisfying.</p><p>A woman (20s?) in a blue felt hat is walking through a flea market with a spring in her step. She's brandishing two padded coat hangers decorated in lace and ribbons in one hand, waving at friends with the other. Her wardrobe's gonna live it large today! </p><p>A tiny human (1?) has lost her nose! (Oh no!) Dad's holding it between two of his fingers. She stares wide eyed at him, shocked at this anatomical feat, only to chortle with delight when he puts it back, holding up his splayed hand up as evidence.</p><p>A woman (80s?) is sitting on a bench overlooking a park and mountains just on sunset. She's got a sketchpad in her lap, a wooden box of pastels at her side and is hard at work capturing the colours. Her gruntling and snortling bulldog rubbing his face on the grass nearby.</p><p>Any typos spotted in this post are a breed of Exclamation Point Wagging Qwerties. If spotted, please throw an em-dash for them to chase.</p>

Also, I'm kinda of getting the impression you think it's a bit like the EU? Commonwealth is basically just the old British colonies kinda maintaining some cultural (and sometimes head of state) ties after independence. In practice it just means some countries like Canada and Australia still have the UK monarch as a powerless head of state. We don't get freedom of movement like the EU gets. I don't think we even get special visa conditions.</p><p>In practical terms, being a member of the Commonwealth means your country gets to take part in the Commonwealth games. And maybe extra diplomatic help in other Commonwealth countries if you don't have an embassy there. Um. That's it afaik 😅</p><p>Btw New Zealand is not disability friendly for immigration. There was a big story a few years ago where a British man was offered a high paying job there and was told he can take his wife and older child, but his disabled daughter was not given residency.</p><p>When trying to find the article, I found these:</p><p><a href="https://news.sky.com/story/girl-12-denied-residency-because-her-autism-does-not-meet-acceptable-standards-of-health-in-new-zealand-12599259" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">news.sky.com/story/girl-12-den</span><span class="invisible">ied-residency-because-her-autism-does-not-meet-acceptable-standards-of-health-in-new-zealand-12599259</span></a></p><p><a href="https://metro.co.uk/2019/03/26/family-denied-visa-daughter-downs-syndrome-9022812/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">metro.co.uk/2019/03/26/family-</span><span class="invisible">denied-visa-daughter-downs-syndrome-9022812/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/new-zealand-denied-residency-teenage-girl-syndrome/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">liveaction.org/news/new-zealan</span><span class="invisible">d-denied-residency-teenage-girl-syndrome/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>discrimination</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/newzealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newzealand</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autism</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/DownSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DownSyndrome</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ableists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableists</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/commonwealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commonwealth</span></a></p>

Christopher CooksonOver 70% of earth's surface is covered in water, but probably over 99% of photographs are taken in air.<br> This is the first time I've ever seen or managed to photograph a member of the Sphaeromatidae family of isopods, in a shallow rock pool.<br> It's also the first time I've seen an active limpet, rather than as they usually appear, inert, clamped to rocks while the tide is out.<br> The stripy tentacle like appendages are fascinating.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" title="#photography" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/underwaterphotography?src=hash" title="#underwaterphotography" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#underwaterphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/newzealand?src=hash" title="#newzealand" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newzealand</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/naturalhistory?src=hash" title="#naturalhistory" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturalhistory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/naturelover?src=hash" title="#naturelover" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturelover</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/nznature?src=hash" title="#nznature" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nznature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/invertebrate?src=hash" title="#invertebrate" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#invertebrate</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/animals?src=hash" title="#animals" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#animals</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" title="#nature" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.nz/discover/tags/wildlifeohotography?src=hash" title="#wildlifeohotography" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlifeohotography</a>

She's wearing a tie dye dress over a dinosaur t-shirt, one green shoe, one red, an adult-sized blue bucket hat and is carrying a green teddy. She knows fashion and she WILL wear what she likes.</p><p>In a packed art deco movie theatre, people are waiting to see Ikiru by Kurosawa. A woman(80s?) is attempting to get to her seat when she stumbles. Immediately, four different people reach out to steady her and help her on her way.</p><p>A bald man (40s?) in business casual is walking past a cafe balancing a metal water bottle on his head. His posture is correct! His expression is meditative. Friends call out a laughing greeting and he gives them a goofy smile.</p><p>A man (50s?) is reading a novel in a beer garden when a friend taps him on the shoulder. He says: "Where've you been, mate? I've been waiting for an hour."</p><p>His friend looks bashful: "Would you believe I've been sitting around the corner this whole time and didn't see you?!"</p><p>A dapperly dressed man (60s?) in a blue 3 piece suit, blue homburg, bow tie and blue wingtips is stopped by a tourist who compliments his sartorial flair and asks for his Instagram. He shakes his head with a wink, "Nah. Why would I have Instagram? I've got a life!"</p><p>Any typos spotted in this post are rocking mismatching brackets as they strut down the street to their own internal song. If spotted, please don't mention the water bottle balancing on their head.</p>
