Taking time in nature alleviates the pressure of our circumstance, as within nature everything is one day at a time.

This is a very comforting post and comment. So true. The earth will keep turning round and find a way to heal us. We can get in on the healing by taking moments to watch and wonder the miracles of nature. Very nice post. Thank you

This heat is just awful at the moment, can't wait for winter to arrive! Lovely photos, I was also looking at the butterflies flocking around the duranta, they just love it:)

Won't discuss the hot wet blanket affect ha ha, duranta is supposedly one of the alien plants here, I have had this one for years and never seen it procreate in the area.
Apparently raw yellow berries are poisonous, if they turn black they are edible, never tried so it's FYI only.

That's interesting about the berries! They're still beautiful, I also love Crotons and have quite a number in my garden even though they're also not indigenous;)

So many plants are not indigenous it would be difficult to alter an established garden with updated lists that come through.

I agree with you. I see hysteria and then I see levelheadedness. I'm on the level-headed side.
Great shots of the butterfly, and of the birds too! The saying about working in the heat - that's always my thinking in the summer when it's time to mow the lawn. :)

I enjoyed this great reading too much. I congratulate you on the way you relate to your surroundings, you make one move the site and feel everything that is happening there. I loved the atmosphere, your lines, the photographs, what a beautiful publication. We should always hope that things will get better instead of anticipating pessimism and chaos, I agree with your final sentence. Fascinated to read you, dear @joanstewart. Following you from now on. A hug from Venezuela to you.
PS: I thought that it was only in my country that there were blackouts, I was surprised by that detail.

So glad to meet you @marybellrg our country, well it has changed drastically over the past decade. Rolling black-outs have been happening since 2008 and no end in sight to them fixing, this morning we had no water and I believe some areas are sitting for months without water so I won't complain.
With hope we have something, being negative brings despair I don't have to look far to see suffering of people, so I remain hopeful for change soon.

Some lovely nature shots here my friend.
We ran outside at 7pm here to catch the first clouds on the mountains, as the weatherman states that it will start raining here at midnight.
So very much needed to break the heat for a little while Lol.

Vengo de una tierra donde no se marcan las 4 estaciones. Parece verano todo el tiempo y temperaturas que oscilan los 40 grados centígrados. Aquí en Chile, estamos a mitad del verano, pero es frío en las mañanas y sube la temperatura durante el día. Mi esposa se queja, no le gusta el frío; A mí no me gusta el calor, Lol.
Lo más importante es disfrutar la vida a pesar de las circunstancias por las que estemos atravesando.

Up well before 🌄 (here) @joanstewart, stopping by to read your post. Very nice work! I agree with this …
… as I briefly (unusual for me … 😉) decided to capture my own thoughts in a post last night. I am taking a "wait and see" attitude. So ... Having originally chosen not to invest more than I am prepared to lose, we'll see soon enough what Mr. Sun has in mind with his latest acquisition. I'll go from there ...
Sandwiched in between, you have captured some beautiful shots. Flowers and bird are both favorites of mine. Your pictures clearly indicate you are on the other side of the world from me, since we had snow last night. Adding to that already on the ground ... Spring, my favorite time of the year, is still a ways off in the future …
Have a great day (evening)!

Ha ha @roleerob I think many here are seasoned to upsets and changes happening like this, yes patience in a waiting game!
I never invest more than I can afford, or as in other ventures lose, this technology unfortunately attracted a balance of good/bad, some give some take.
Everything on wings moves early morning and late afternoons being midsummer at the moment, down south and over the pond. We are looking forward to our extremely mild winter conditions when one can enjoy the whole day.
Greetings and have a wonderful day, well yes evening now.

Love the post.. feel the heat from that last picture. "Thick as pea soup" says it well. We are still in winter here and although I look forward to warmer weather, I dread the humidity that will surely follow.
On another note.. Man! You are getting hammered with those stupid down vote bots.. 25 on this post alone! So annoying.

Butterflies arriving in great numbers is spectacular, Woody tends to roam the garden checking everything that moves. We have to have the odd chat about him becoming excitable with mongoose or monkeys going through, but butterflies play dodgems with him.
Rolling black-outs, some cities are 4 hours, ours is 2.5 hour periods, depending what stage, this may happen a couple of times a day. Very annoying when this country was referred to as "first world", now the grand backslide status into third world, with finance going into junk status.
Not only is it hot, tempers are frayed, at least we are being notified more accurately by mobile apps of late.
