Walking past a painting on the wall, I am imagining in my mind's eye, a similar exhibit, with an endearing appeal, having at least some of the elements. Venturing outside, I am lucky. I stand gazing, transfixed. Call it... Admiration. #florafaunaspeak

Peering closely, I realize... it's a 'small world' indeed. Betwixt the buds and blossoms, an agile ant takes the treacherous route, searching for his mates. Hey there! Clinging  beneath a lush pile of foliage, a certain someone, practising his eight-legged ballet, and looking to build a home, says... Hello! #florafaunaspeak

A vivid red, my colour makes you wish to stop awhile for a closer look. Stop for me too... whispers someone from aross the road. A certain someone who invites curses from many at the wheel. The ever present red light at a traffic signal makes an earnest wish.

When you're feeling down, when there's that niggling thought that everything is going against you, when words have the power to hurt, when even  books offer no solace, when binge eating seems tempting, Nature comes to the rescue. Silently takes over, inspiring confidence. Nature's arsenal comes fully loaded. #florafaunaspeak

My plea is rather simple. Do keep it in mind. A gentle nudge coming your way just so you remember. Thank you for loving my home. The Earth needs more people like you.

We are delighted, overjoyed, ecstatic... to find that our pal who is a a 'Totally Regal n' Emphatic Emissary' of our species, going by the name... 'A TREE,' is surviving n' getting a fresh lease of life. We've decided to don a celebratory pink attire to honour this occasion. #florafaunaspeak

Whirling around endlessly, the wind ruffles wavy tendrils of hair, as a serene soul resting, eyes closed, soaks in the fresh air, ears tingling thanks to hordes of tiny, precocious birds, the surrounding greenness driving away the eddying swirls of daily stresses that tend to engulf. A designed 'specially for you' invite arrives from a lonely, four-legged someone, fashioned out of wood, in the direction of which, your faltering  feet often tend to pull you. Tucked away in a  remote backyard, a ubiquitous bench beckons. Call it an eloquent cry for some friendly company . Do step outside from air conditioned confines, away from your gadgets and creature comforts. Nature's picture postcards are indeed irrestible!
