Wednesday Walk Through My Lens
Triviality of life fades away, spaciousness of mind and eye roaming, endlessly looking up with soaring notion something awaits around every corner.
Most days something is waiting to feast your eyes, new acquaintance in fauna or flora revealing hidden secrets right before you.
Never expecting always looking, a task photographers love, light, angles, something different all go into opportunity once you open your mind.
Let out to allow in our roaming creative hungry minds never quelled, there is always some more to discover.
Opportunity awaits outdoors, once expectant eyes start looking, an unquenchable appetite for mental stimulation on a budget is walking around locally.
What is happening around my surroundings, who is visiting today, will I be able to capture them or will they walk/fly away.
Special for Make Me Smile is the tried and tested tightrope walk the monkeys do quite regularly, a short cut onto the roof from the light pole on the street, using phone lines that no longer work.
Sounds so familiar to humans, always looking for a quick way around...

These are great photos, my favorites are the sunset one... and the one that have the little birds.
Sunsets were are most spoiled with, thanks for visiting and kind comment @tripode
I love the sunset photo, and the monkey on the wire!!
Sunsets provide such a variety of moods at the end of each day, moving across from right corner of garden to middle now with summer approaching.
Have a great Thursday @rynow
Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Your posts often make me a bit jealous! But lucky for me, you post them and I get to enjoy South Africa vicariously.
Life in the garden always new opportunities, something different to see, glad you enjoyed visiting again @owasco I am always grateful and enjoy sharing.
The monkey on the wire is hilarious, and yes, exactly what they do. Little monkeys after all. To be surrounded by that kind of nature has got to be breathtaking, and makes for an adventurous mind. I smile at your wildlife, living among you, and wish I could have a piece of that.
I have lots of nature, but, none quite as exciting as yours. When did you realize just how lucky you were to be planted in the middle of all this, never wanting to leave?
Thank you for the beauty, the sunset was beauteous! The colors were extraordinary!

These little monkeys are expressive in so many ways one does stop to enjoy their antics.
Moving to the coast forty years ago, taking a massive dive in earnings was not something done lightly or without thought, still happy we made the move even though too much development has taken place.
Appreciate the share and tip, lovely comment and visit Denise, saving flowers for another post, changing to vibrant summer @dswigle

.Lol those are absolutely beautiful shots! that monkey is really up to something!
No regrets making the move down from Johannesburg to Durban forty years ago, so much on the move all the time Joe @joetunex
Lol I will no doubt do the same as I love the coast more than the inland. There is a project coming in DBN at Cherry beach I might be part of the team coming down there 🙂
Made the move before children arrived, returned after birth of our son for six months, realized that returning was a wrong move and came back to settle for good.
Not sure where Cherry beach is will look it up on the maps, enjoy it is a slower paced life, not easier in any descriptive way.
Thanks @joanstewart 🙂
That sunset picture is astounding. I feel every day is a new day, uncertain maybe adventurous. You are blessed that you live in such an amazing place where guests come to meet you...
Get outdoors regularly, yes very fortunate in having a busy back garden @priyanarc
What a lovely walk such beautiful shots so cool seeing the birds and monkeys and i love that sunset
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :)
Summer birds are arriving in great numbers getting ready for breeding season with much manly showing off going on. Little bat arriving during sunset was a highlight for me personally. Wishing you a wonderful Thursday.
And as they arrive there but they are leaving here enjoy the season if their visit
I love the pic of the monkey as well as the birds.... simply beautiful images!

Life is forever on the move, enjoy stopping to watch them. Thanks for visiting @orlandumike
That is a great balancing act on that phone wire they certainly know how to do them Trapeze acts...lol 😅
Monkeys move through the properties daily, fortunately we have more laughs at their antics than being upset by occasional raiding of homes.
Ahhhh....you got to love it , it's like living around a circus by the sounds of it daily entertainment 😅

A lovely Wednesday Walk post Joan. I love seeing the Trapeze Artist. It is so foreign to me to see monkeys frolicking freely around the yard.
Bats are scarce here now. They became infected with white nose syndrome and I haven’t seen any the last few years. Bats are great at eating the mosquitos and flies in the evenings.

Sun being up a little later we start noticing them now, always hear them at night sounding their way around town.
Have a wonderful weekend Jo.

You captured the feeling I have when I go out for a photo adventure and every day it is an adventure for out in nature it is always changing! Lovely capture of the birds (and monkeys!) I like seeing the different birds from around the world - such diversity! Do the birds migrate there and if so are many just returning with your coming Spring?
Some birds stay all year round, others migrate and start returning from the North (more northerly through Africa) at this time of year.
Many species males take on their special flirty look for the ladies making them more evident with bright colours, along with pecking order in the trees.
Monkeys are a permanent daily visitors all year round. Walking around the garden many times every day it is wonderful seeing the changes. Yesterday two different species of sunbird (similar to your humming bird) were fighting over a bottle brush flower, yet there are plenty flowers on the shrub, unfortunately I was unable to capture argument between the two.
You have such a beautiful array of birds and wildlife there - so happy you share them through your photography!
Are you getting out for walks yet or are there still some restrictions?
Thanks @poshbot appreciated.
