Life Teaches

Age Affords Some Comfort Knowing Where You Come From

Witnessing the beauty in a fallen blossom does leave us pondering how it found it's way here, no tree in sight similar. As in to life we know what we had, it takes constructive effort to know how to rebuild going forward.

Egyptian goose swimming as a family unit today, the young grow eventually flying off having families of their own, it something life teaches us, nothing is permanent, change happens, as it should.

Baby swallows sitting above wing flapping every time a mother comes into view, that is what parenting is about feeding, grooming the young to insure a future for the next generation.

Most unusual seeing a local gecko out in the daylight, warming up, perhaps food is available that I am unable to see at a glance. Normally they are active a night finding mosquito or something that settles long enough for them to eat.

A day before the rain arrived the rain lily started to appear, life tells us here in Africa when rains will come, over time one learns to read natures signs, believe me they are never wrong.

Vervet monkey with exceptionally young baby taking short relief from the harsh sunlight sitting checking surroundings before the little one may escape from a tight hold. Be vigilant of children around your neighbourhood, too many go missing today, sold into slavery, sex trade, pedophile networking it is rife throughout many countries!

Roses still attached to the stem, fading as life cycle slowly comes to an end, do they enjoy the rain for one last time, feeling the water from above wash them as much as we do after a long hot day taking a shower?

Rain lily now open after nightfall of rain I will show many more as they will fill the garden with joyful colour, an insect clambering out of a blossom that will only live for a day maybe two, consider how quick life is some enjoy a little longer, some send their message out..., then die off soon after.

Reflections of life that teaches us in most obscure ways, no shouting or hidings simply learning by example those small snippets of information that comes our way over a lifetime, circle of life through some random photography.

The way you personify your photos in words is so beautiful to read, makes me think there is a poetry side of you that you are not showing us.

A blissful Sunday to you.

Rain lily is gently swaying in the light drizzle, as am I with the cool breeze floating through the window.

Life is poetry in motion, never forget to feast your eyes. !LUV

Beautiful photos Joan, a sublime Sunday indeed. All this rain is so lovely and cooling, but one can almost see the grass growing in front of your eyes, everything is so lush and green. I especially love the photos of the Egyptian geese and the Swallows! The day has gone by in a flash.

Always enjoy the cooler rain weather, grass is growing as you watch it. Birds are growing quickly getting ready to move from parents, cycle almost over with those breeding at the moment.

The photos are sublime. I love the view of Africa you give us. It's like no other perspective I have seen. Quite beautiful and moving.

Then there is this:

Be vigilant of children around your neighbourhood, too many go missing today, sold into slavery, sex trade, pedophile networking it is rife throughout many countries!

Oh my, reality in the midst of beauty. Quite horrible that such a warning is necessary.

With all the beauty around us, being aware to the horrors currently faced by many innocent little ones bundled up into a world of darkness is a warning to heed.

An insightful post Joan. I love the monkey and baby. So true the dangers to children, I can’t believe how evil some people are and the harm done to the innocent. It angered me when In think of it and want justice served more than a slap on the wrist.

Hope you are keeping well, Have a great start to the week.

Difficult keeping ones mind clear of anger with evil calamity all around. What I know/say is I am grateful our parents who fought in the war never witnessed this madness.

Still taking every day one day at a time, take care and enjoy your Christmas which once again is on our doorstep.

What an interesting and beautiful flower in the first photo! Birds have family worries and affairs. Monkeys are so cute! And what a picturesque and cozy place is in the last photo. Excellent reporting! 👍

Hibiscus 'Giant Red' (I think) the size of my hand or small dinner plate, possibly brought in via one of the wedding parties held in the park.

Park bench under large wild fig tree an exceptional spot for bird watching or cricket in summer, rugby in winter. Have an awesome day and thanks for visiting.

Reflections on life's cycles are always all around us, all we have to do is be aware, just like the Rain Lily. Well done!

Rain lily dances but a few days, so delicate and pretty when gathered together. Have a wonderful day and week ahead.

Those are really beautiful pictures .
Are you a poet?
That’s a really great write up.

Dabbled a little with poetry when young, now write according to what I feel when I reflect on nature around. Thanks for visiting and kind comment.

Oh that explains it.
