Whale

 
 
Slightly uphill from New World in Freemans Bay,
Auckland there is a children’s play ground.
It’s modest but very appealing.
 
For some months I’ve noticed this whale
but today was different. I decided that today
I was going to take my camera and
begin work on it.
 
‘Work’ might mean 5 minutes or it could mean
taking a first version and then, if necessary, but
hopefully not, returning, in different light
perhaps.
 
In this case, I’m going to sleep on it.
