Post-it Note: Sometimes I take a Cow of a Photograph…

This area of the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island clearly has a sense of humour.  A little further in our travels I spy a rural letterbox that has me excitedly babbling in Himself’s ear that we need to turn around please so I can get a photograph.

Brilliant  husband that he is, he obliged with just just a raised eyebrow, wondering what on earth it was this time that has us screaming to a halt.

Since he has his eyes on the road an not on quirky bits parked to the sides of it, he usually hasn’t spotted the things I do,  so sometimes it’s a nice surprise for him to see what weird thing  we’ve turned back for (yet again).

Usually he and the kids appreciate the humour in my “finds” although I have been guilty of getting everyone to stop on occasion for stuff that looked interesting when we raced past but wasn’t when we turned around and took a closer look.

This little beauty is defiantly worth the U-turn and if this postbox doesn’t make the local Postie smile I don’t know what would.

Art, Creativity and Humour melded firmly with Practicability… Perfect!!!  This is the kind of thing the world needs a lot more of.

  1. I’m glad your husband is obliging. I wouldn’t have liked you to miss this one :)

    • Tilly,
      He’s willing to stop for funny letterboxes (unless traffic is too busy) and for murals, quirky statues and even lets me photograph his food before he eats it. That make him a definite keeper :)

      • Carrie,
        Brother = Yes, Single = No.
        BUT I amd SURE there must be more fella’s out there who love a woman who can cook, take food photos and loves travel and quirky things to visit (You and I both fit the bill on that one!)
