Flabbergasted - A Sublime Sunday With Birds And Flowers

in Photography Lovers2 months ago (edited)

Laugh Or Cry

The show goes on, no time as I once did to follow Hive Fest, always enjoyed listening into event.

Rising early working through days, weeks now months I'm exhausted now reaching a point of not knowing whether to laugh or cry at the amount of work needing to be achieved around the home. No posts throughout the week on Hive, simply popping in to meet, greet and support whenever I am able.

Mental disengagement walking around the garden watching life on the move, pontificating events staying positive where possible, perhaps once the house is complete, much sorting done, time will become more available to relax once again.

Extreme joy birds bring now their young starting to arrive more confident, it would be rewarding knowing we people are heading down the right path in life. Only assurance one is able to muster to doing right by friend and foe.

She is dressed with little polka dots, completely different birds share together, male sparrow happy to keep finch company while never trying to make advances, birds stick to the same feather, they are not racist.

Zoom into both enjoying seed within the ring of banter, while we ramble on about clutter....

f/6.9 - 1/200 sec - ISO 800 : House Sparrow

In plain sight we watch coming and goings in life some show...., blend in a little easier!

Others hide not wishing to be involved, which way to go...

Keep eyes and ears open to deceitful web being weaved around, carry on as per normal, change will arrive.

Flabbergasted..., no more by news, follow true north in nature, it's where we become one with all. Wishing you a wonderful week, I'm here,** although busy I will continue to pop in daily!

Very beautiful birds and indeed it's their season, just like everything else.
Happy you could pop in every now and then to say hi. 😁

Short visit always takes ones mind off the work you know is laying in wait! Have a wonderful day!

Congratulations, you received an ecency upvote through the curator @ahmedhayat. Keep spreading love through ecency

Thanks @ahmedhayat appreciate visit and kind reminder.

I hope you catch a break soon

One way or another this had to be tackled, not leaving a mess when I'm done and dusted...., if I can help it!

Good afternoon dear friend @joanstewart
I'm sorry you're so busy working hard on your home, the good thing about that is that when you finish the remodeling it will be a huge satisfaction.
How great to spend time in nature and enjoy beautiful flowers and birds
Have a great and prosperous week

Dusting, cleaning, cleaning and dusting seems no end when fixing rising damp then painting, not to mention moving furniture. Done and dusted I'd say three quarters of the way to near completion and I will be happy to relax. May to September has been a long run.... !LUV

Happy Sunday out there! You had a lovely day spending with nature . Meanwhile, I spent mine watching movies with my siblings hehe

Between chores I make sure to take walks keeping in touch with life outdoors, good you took take time off with siblings always makes the weekend fun.

Lovely bird

Lovely birds everywhere keeping us company.

I agree. Animal watching, or just walking in nature, gives calmness and satisfaction.

Nature calms, taking your mind off the real world, no matter how far or short it all adds up.

I guess down South everything is coming to life where up here everything is getting autumnal.

Entering the dreaded warmer months with humidity... Then you hear me complain again 🤥

LOL moan moan moan I get it

Shite too much going on.....

You and I seem to have had busy past week that allowed very limited time on Hive.
I am attempting to photograph birds recently whenever I see any in close range, I must say it hasn't been easy 😅 you have been doing great with the shots.

!PIZZA

Time very limited with moving, cleaning and Vusi painting and fixing, coffee and sandwiches in between. Shock to the system up so early every morning 😂

Birds don't sit still for very long it takes some patience and time, takes your mind completely off of everything except what you focusing on....

!WINEX for later

PIZZA!

Sometimes these mental disengagement are important. These are very beautiful shots. I wonder how you get so close to take them, unless with zoom in your lens

Sometimes when lucky the birds may be a few foot away, or zoom is required on my handy little pocket camera which has become an extension of my arm.

what beautiful photos! I especially love how you captured the water droplets and then the intricate spider's web at the end of your post.

Wonderful rainfall right on start of summer season, birds being well fed and looked after outdoors. Have a brilliant day, always in nature.

it's funny you should say that. I've been waking to the chatter of a far larger variety of birds lately. Sometimes it's just lovely to close your eyes and listen to them <3

Bird feeder with some water close to hand they will come in droves.... Have a fun day!

U+I know it probably needed to be done but I hope the end is in sight and soon you will hve more time for yourself

Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk :)
Have a great day :)

I've patiently sat watching and waiting until I could no more.... Most probably completed half way.

I always try pop in and support, have a wonderful day and thanks for the time you put in as well. Hope your health is improved giving you time to be out more and Lulu accompanies you every so often.

pqace yourself, and yes I am doing better and getting out more, trying to get my wife out for walks now and again but she isnt up for it

As long as both are happy, contented in what one does. We definitely get to an age where time, space is required after all these years, simply content knowing each is close or doing something they enjoy.
