I’m tempted to flag it because New Zealanders are not a flag waving people. Mention the flag these days and someone will want to debate whether it should be changed, whether it reflects New Zealand as the nation it is today. And I certainly don’t want to get into that debate.
But I got lucky yesterday. We had international flags flying at work last week (I was too busy to take photos) and at the end of the event the flags were shoved into a basket and had become crumpled. I offered to bring them home and hang them on the clothesline to get out the wrinkles before we store them away. I pegged them up as they came out of the basket. China beside Wales. The Chinese flag featured a dragon during the Qing Dynasty, so there is a connection.
Great Britain beside Japan. There are no rules in my back yard.
I really like the flag of Argentina although I think the smiley face is taking a few liberties with the sun.
And here’s my flag of my homeland, Australia
The remainder are a few I’ve taken around the north.
And finally, a very practical flag. I made my grand-daughters these flags to wave above their heads in an effort to distract an attacking magpie during their nesting season.
