Introducing GOULASH

by name of the new reporter at Nature Talks blog. This is only his profile: he will talk and move while greeting the arrival of SPRING 2011. ______________________________--------------------------_ It's a little movie when it works. You might guess we are working to make a movie on Nature Talks blog.

Spring greetings from England

The Daffodil everywhere is the nicest greeting for

Early Spring

Happily enjoying the fresh grass for relaxation,

after her wool was cut

to make those

wonderful warm garments

for the naked human :)

Fish is coming up to the surface
from winter hiding



I have seen this kind of a fish
in Japanese Garden's lakes

Enjoying the crystal clear water

A family of swan feeding on the

bank of a river.

The white is the mother

the darker color are still

showing

the very young

Mama swan takes for a walk

the Seven

wonders

of her kids.

Prayer for Japan

To break the silence comes with a prayer for Japan.

the "praying hands"

is a drawing

by

Albrecht Durer.

Silence

Nature Talks blog keep silent.

Rain and shine

It is RAIN = beneficial rain to wash the snow and dirt away!

The patio clean of the feet of snow!

Pots are waiting for Spring flowers!

Go to get some food!
"Pater Noster: give us the daily bread"...
But in the Far East they eat rice instead of bread.
How do they pray?....



Broccoli is cooking, a favored food.

Incredible large ripe strawberries from our California

a USA product!

Wash them and eat it as it is, or can be cooked for

jam to the breakfast cereal.

In the Sunshine the strawberries are laughing

It's a beautiful day.

And the Muse kissed me to write a poem:

" Love the rain when it's raining,

Love the Sun when it shines,

Love what ever it is coming:

Because I love you: Dear Old Life!"

Variation on a theme

Dear Blogger Friends:

today I posted in Vaumau blog some artwork.

If you interested it is at:

THIS IS FOR SMILE

At the time we visited the orchids, next we went to the

Cactus House!

My companion said she does not want to be photographed today, so I did this for fun.

I have a great affection for the cactus.

They are funny and make me smile.

This is a root.

I thinks is adorable.

They are there left in a nice place

where they can freely spread

what they love to do.

They are in a funny group

what they create on their own.

Perhaps was planted one some time ago---

and than they become a lovely social group.




This is my main attraction.
Makes me laugh
how this plant is fighting
the dimension of
the pot!
In every direction
just wants to get out!







This one is a darling
like nothing else.
Considering the thorns what can hurt you
she raps them up
that you can touch them
if it was just covered
with fine silk.
________________________________

In our quiet walk around the cactus collection
finally a kind lady
came out from the background.
She told us, that she is a volunteer
taking care of the cactus house.
She also said:
"Now the days are getting longer,
with more light
the cactus community will come to
bloom
with unthinkable beautieful flowers"
Our date was set.

ORCHID ORGY

"I AM TOTALLY UNIQUE"

They call me:

Lady slipper.

" I am also unique"

They call me also:

Lady slipper

" I AM MORE UNIQUE

than the others

but I am also

a Lady slipper"

"My color is yellow"

I am more rare

than the others"

we are just beautiful

Every body knows us

Hundreds of blooming orchids with full power of the unique

creations of Nature

In this post I just like to say a great big:

THANK YOU

to my new followers. Certainly is inspiring when a blogger can see the other blogger interest in the work what is put in the postings.

Also

must tell that some of the followers on the list

are not all functioning.

I am very sorry about Susan from Montana

who was an excellent contributor with many useful advise.

She talked about "Hard times coming..." last year in June and since than she did not post!

We care about each other and I am really missing her: just

wonder: what happened?

In my life the PC is a Center piece.

I feel

that friendships

even in a long distance

can become very close and warm relationship!

Grateful thoughts to those

wonderful humans

who brought to life

the Internet!

To my understanding it started at CERN Switzerland

close to 1994 that this kind of a communication

was established!
