    Soul Replenishing Beauty

    "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard Shaw

    In moments of uncertainty simply placing one foot in front of the other taking time to absorb life around, excessive rain broke the heat, that has since arrived back once again. Swings and slides in weather and life appears to be news of the day, lets take a break and I will show you some of what I have seen.

    First up is the small Natal forest tree frog that appear after rain, above taken through the window at night not wishing to harm it, the second sleeping on a leaf in broad daylight which I have not seen often as they appear to disappear when the sun comes up. Each little one in it's own special colour!

    Next day I heard the quiet call they use, watched this little male capturing my attention.

    White-bellied sunbird has been in formative song still raining waiting to enjoy some sunlight, flashing iridescent blue-green upperparts makes zooming in required, normally perched on top of the bush.

    Morning skies have sharp blue appearance, sharp red contrast against the blue giving a moment in a colourful world.

    Clouds dance above showcasing cross winds, evident during time outdoors watching above and below to enjoy the healing power offered, quenching mind and soul taking breaks from conflicting thoughts and emotions brought about in this world we live in.

    Butterfly season, many shapes and sizes, we should be free on a breeze as they are yet tangled grounded here we are!
