The wind has been unleashing its bag of tricks, carting us off, tossing...up and down, spinning unsuspecting victims into acrobatic moves. One upon the other, we are piled up and tucked away into patterned slots. On no! A little redhead cries out. I'll soon be buried under a rustly, copper tinted pillow. Look at me... says another yellow victim, ready any moment for a free fall. I wish somone would tether the wind, buzzes a strange voice, clinging on for dear life.

I have many many legs exclaims a certain someone, standing tall and proudly showing them off. 'How about ours?' enquire two small and delicate looking busybodies just out from their home, to bask in the sunlight.

Resting for a while in the enchanting stillness buoyed by the bright splashes of green but never letting down guard. 'No worries,' since eyes that mimic golden berries are ever on the watch. The serene atmosphere with absolutely no sign of the wind is waiting to be savoured...until the first drops of rain, announce their arrival.  

A great day outdoors with several visitors marking their attendance. Each  one showing off their skills, flitting here and there, vying for attention.

My eyes grow wide and wider... as a colourful spectacle unfolds before me. My wish has been granted. I was just thinking ... that patch of grey and green needed a splash of  contrasting hues. Looking up ... a while later, it's a different spectacle altogether. The  business of decoding Nature's changing moods: Call it - an ongoing process.

I consider myself an expert in the art of twisting and turning, coiling and winding. I deem it as necessary and a unique and inevitable part of my long journey. It all amounts to... weathering  the travails that life throws upon us from time to time.

Oh dear! There seem to be restrictions in place, hampering the growth of me and my brethren. I am proud of my broadening girth but the hard wall pressing against me is bent on crushing my spirit.  Looking forward to times when this mindset will change. Someone who has just landed nearby seems to agree.
