They're great @whiteraven do you know what creatures they are?
Hope you'll post more of em :)

Thank you! Top left is one of my favorite birds, the boat-billed heron, top right is a ring-tailed lemur, bottom is an inca tern.

Been venturing back outside more often lately, finally. Now that the injury from my dumb-ass move on the wood floor while in a chair on wheels is healing, it's a bit easier to navigate the uneven terrain. I forgot just how many colors a bruise can consist of.

Funny how badly I craved being outdoors when I physically couldn't manage it all too well, but when I was mentally and emotionally drained to the max and beyond, I didn't care if I went outside or not. Damn brain. A reminder to celebrate the things I CAN do every chance I get. Still need to work on my rain dance, though, because it remains quite dry and crunchy in our neck of the woods.

Took a stroll to the mountain stream to bless/thank the waters, and to wish for more to replenish the low levels, and was happy to see some eyes looking up at me...

The lovely little sun gold tomatoes that taste like candy...

Not as clear as I'd like it to be, but still cute. There was another baby and the mama near by, but those pics turned out even more fuzzy...

My brother-in-law's pup visiting and enjoying the mountain stream with me...so grateful for the canine company...

The bee was not ready for its close-up, butt, then again ...

Mmmm...something to look forward to...

Zimsculpt - Stone carving from Zimbabwe. They had an exhibition at the botanical gardens. They were also doing a demo of their carving skills. Pretty amazing for a plain old ballpien hammer, a few chisels and a torch....

Sometimes, beauty can sting twice...

Minding the nest and encouraging unwanted visitors to move along - don't have to prompt me twice...

The hens and chicks succulent plants grow like crazy and I'm fascinated by their design(s), as you can tell by my avatar pic choice - the Fibonacci sequences in nature, among so many other things, keep me gratefully awestruck...

Our flowers in the gardens.

My efforts produced prodigious results, I must’ve been a farmer in a past life. I don’t really feel like doing it ever because I feel attached to them all. The ones in the front are probably 10 feet tall. I blame my daughter if the neighbors comment and say she makes me do it.

Had to wait till I got home to post the ones I saw on my walk yesterday / today.

Walks in the garden often prove to be fruitful in more ways than one, but this one is a particular favorite...

Sunrise is always a welcome sight, but the sunset, to me, carries a calmer kind of vibe, as if it's prompting time to just relax and settle...then there's the barbed wire in the pic that reminds me of my brain during attempts to relax and settle...lol...
