Footprints in the sand

It was in the early morning

when Life just started

to weak up.

I was walking on the beach

in my sorrow where I

always used to find consolation.

Just looked

in the sand

the foot prints:

"Oh, dear Life

the Ocean Fairy

just went by!"

I whispered with excitement

"And left treasures in the sand for some reason to find out why?"

as I was thinking in the morning Sunshine.

Sea shells since ancient times

in different cultures

are regarded as symbols

as the beginning of new Life.

And I stood there in this morning to see the beauties of the seashells telling me: " The tears of yesterday dry up in the Ocean breeze and there is a new beginning today and tomorrow and everyday till the end of times."

The good Ocean Fairy as always is there with the help in need.

Summer night sleep

Intermission.

On this day of Summer Solstice I have a message to my dear Blogger Friends:

I am taking

some time off from Blogging.

Need some refreshing ideas to collect while I am working to get over a sad event: losing a close member of my family. I need to get over it. And when I weak up from my Summer sleep I shell be filled with themes

what will be beneficial

for all of us.

Hope to see you soon.

Blue Bird.

Snorkeling :)

in deep waters

"Did you say: I am beautiful?"

" They call us

Gold fish

but that

is only by the humans"

"and might as well

we are the

Silver fish"

"Can you see the

endless variety

in the deep?

Say

many thanks

to

Mother Nature

to give us

all these beauties!!!!"

Summer is here

Quiet and calm

First visitors on the beach

Peaceful environment

Round and round

Did you ever think about Nature's creations where there are no straight lines?

Did you ever see a "square and fair" fruit?

Did you want to straighten out

a ray of Sunshine?

( No the rays of Sunshine are not straight!)

Planet Earth is a round Globe.

Raindrops on the window
look round drops.

Raindrops in a puddle

on a brick walkway

are round.

Little flowers

are all round

Peaches are round

Lemons are round.

-------------------------------------------------

Humans like to do things the easy way in these days:

Straight and square

what ever they make something.

You bang into the square table,

put a pillow to make

a chair square seat more comfortable.

But the auto-makers

do make more round edges

on the body of the car,

airplanes has to be very smoothly round off

against the resistance of the air.

And when you want to go underwater

you have to make lot of

compromises

to accommodate

the forces of water.

Yes, it cost money.

Perhaps with more agreement

with Nature

the man-made disasters

would not happen

like in the Gulf of Mexico

and the Earthquakes detestation's

if buildings would be built

with more knowledge of Nature.

__________________________

Finally about the most of all:

a globe has limited space.

Perhaps if you think about

growing population

think about

your children's future

and think about Nature's power

what is much bigger than the humans will.

PICK UP THE THREAD

I gave this title to this post

to" pick up the thread" because

after the last post about

the Gulf tragedy

I did not feel like posting

the usual way.

But life went on after 9/11/2001

and at this time also

we have to go on no matter

how hard it is

to deal with the facts.

People say: " June is the Month of Roses"

These here are the roses in a garland

at the side of the house

as you come

to the entrance

It's a very old planting.

It was here when we bought the house.

It is covered with very many

little group of roses

and very hardy.

No matter how cold is the winter

the little bouquets will bloom

with abundant
numbers in brilliant dark pink color.

There common name is "Impatient"

a very popular plant here. The name comes from the fact

that they are "Impatient to bloom"

and by the end of the summer

they become a big bunch

with the most

amazing colors.

This here is something else.

It is a perennial ground cover

enjoying the well taken care

in a pot.

The yellow flowers?

Hope you forgive me:

they are not real

they made of silk by humans.

( Please smile and don't

make a serious face:

I am just having fun

to make this pot

more cheerful with

some color.)

Nature speaks loud and clear

I am not a master of words. Pictures were always my main interest.

But at this time I must say what

NATURE IS TELLING US:

About the horrors of human activities in the Gulf of Mexico.

Just mention some numbers: BP "confessed"

$ 14 bn profit from last year. Was not that enough money available to spend on safety and precaution in deep water drilling?

It was with massive negligence the way this Co. was operating even before

this event.

It is not clear to me: where are the cut off lines who is responsible ultimately? But again is a monumental example how the humans hurting this planet!

And as you see: the Earth is angry, very angry.

The difficulty what the Earth is giving at this time for the humans to get hold of this monstrous flowing of that mess

it speaks:

loud and clear that those are not

humans

who are responsible on the ultimate level.

DIFFERENT WAY

This post belongs to the previous posting of

Henry Moore sculptures

in the park with the visiting sheep.

Because of technical difficulties this photo would not upload : became a separate posting, but with the same subjects matter:

Argo the British photographer sent these pics to Nature Talks blog to be published . With many thanks Blue Bird is presenting this photo of a

Henry Moore sculpture

with a sheep

which is while grazing

also digest

what he/she is learning

about art

in the shadow of the

strange looking

sculpture.

A DIFFERENT WAY

Nature talks in a different way.

These are Henry Moore sculptures which are visited by a wondering sheep while

Argo created this

exclusive photograph.

I find it very inspiring

that in a park where sculptures are

exhibited

sheep can come

to learn and admire

great pieces of art.

I wish that such happenings

would be followed

around the World.

Hope you agree with me Dear Reader.

Month of June is on the way.

I am not an expert in Gardening

and my notes

are not totally correct,

but enjoy to take photos

of these beauties.

The Iris is a relative to the Orchid Family.

Nature's creation is a miracle

as you can see the fine details

of the Iris bloom!

The tender petals are so delicate,

one does not even want to touch it.

It is blooming time of the Iris now in our region.They come in many colors. The purple is the oldest color ( I think) and the variety are hybrids and not as strong as this one.

Canadian Geese activity

It is the ideal place where these geese really love to live:

big open grass field, quiet surroundings and nearby water.

They are very well organized to secure a safe and happy life.

There is a leader

he is watching

while the others are grazing

in the lush grass.

He : the leader will decide when is time to go

to the water

and he is leading

the family

who are following without

any hesitation.

And there you are!

The beautiful crystal clear pond

for swimming,

drinking

and having fun.

So is life in the Enchanted Garden

for the

Canadian Geese

permanent residents.
