When creative juices flow

Image
Your gaze is riveted. Nature uses innovative ploys to catch your attention. Nature's 'attention seeking' behaviour does draw many admirers.

Contemplation

One look at an area of dazzling pink pulls me into a contemplative mood of being thankful... for the blessing of eyesight.

Back to school

Image
The day has begun. The new pupils have arrived Activities include making new friends, interacting, learning new concepts, hands-on learning, relearning the old, imbibing life skills - sharing, team work and patience. Also some funtime... trying to outwit classmates. A leader is elected. A lively discussion ensues. Turns out to be a fruitful day. 'Live relay' from Nature's classroom keeps you engrossed.

From tree to table

The journey is long necessitating some planning and forethought. Many are the pitfalls. Sometimes the unexpected happens. The journey stops midway but...with luck when the journey is done, the sense of satisfaction is profound. The bunch of bananas from your backyard has many takers.

Under the weather

Image
I think... I'd just like a quick peek into a mirror coz I don't look my usual serene self. Something's been happening. A creamy n' nattily dressed blossom, I usually arrive on sunny mornings but here I am... a travesty of the original. Sadly, without even blooming, see me turning russet...brown. At times, when the rain and the sun indulge in a game of 'me in, you out', I do feel out of sorts and the unthinkable happens. Like a sudden gust of wind playing a game of 'shake up' I've heard that this could be a temporary thing.

An instant smile

Image
Sometimes... when a long  forgotten plant blooms, even your steaming cup of tea remains uncared for as your eyes glimmer with cartloads of smiles. Lulled into sleep, closed white sheaves shed their langour to smile, as gold tipped darts spray bits of sunny sparkle. Braving the curled n' fragile edges of a soft, crumbly precipice, curious ants tumble into a duvet of white, velvety petals.
