Nature's Wonders




I loved these photos that a friend sent me the other day.




Just thought I would share two photos on our walk around the track this morning.
All was peaceful and lovely at 7.30 am and it really is my favourite time of the day.
There was a tui in the tree and I tried to take a photo, but there was not enough light around.


Have you leant upon a gate, without a need for words,
To take in Nature's wonder and to listen to the birds?
Yes, leaning on a gate is a thing we ought to do.
It helps us to unwind and such moments are so few.

I hope that you have a wonderful week

Hugs
Carolyn

    I love the donkeys too, so sweet.
    Yes, they are Lady bugs and I remember when we were kids, there were a lot around. I saw one the other day, but there don't seem to be many, don't know why?

  8. Oh, gorgeous pictures, all of them! I love the ladybugs, too. Our last two houses that we lived in were new-construction homes, and the ladybugs liked to crawl into the wood framing (before the house was finished) and spend the winter there. In the spring, we would find ladybugs all over the house. It was lovely. I'd have to scoop them up and bring them outdoors.

    Morning walks are so peaceful. I enjoy them, too. Have a great week!

    Hi Bella,
