As I sat and pondered my life one day, waves of sorrow and joy came my way.
Acknowledging each one that passed by, they would make me laugh, sing, or cry.
My life is very colorful, genuine, and true. My life is fulling in some ways; both old and new.
Each day is a gift on these waves. Each day I pursue what I crave.
May you all use this time given to reflect, grow, and invite beauty into your soul.
I hope you are all well and safe on these ever moving waters of life. I look forward to visiting your part of the pond.
Thank you for your support, favs and kind comments. They and you are appreciated.

Macro Mondays - theme of March 28, 2022: Mediums ... HMM !
Taken in Brockham, Surrey, a small village not too far from where I live. Quintessentially English, a village church, a village green, a village pub, some independently owned village shops, lots of old cottages surrounding the green. Nice place to live I'm sure. The only drawback is that you'd need a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a home there. Ah well, it was a nice place for a walk.
Life has a way of tossing many things at you. Sometimes people think they have gotten the better of you. However, they missed that fire behind the eyes that says everything . . . .
getting back to the garden (again ;-)
Another favourite photograph taken by a visiting friend, a wonderful photographer, in winter 2018, and processed by me this week.
The image posted below in the first comment box is also from the series of images taken by my friend during winter 2018.
Sorry about the previous confusing intro!!! :-( Tho I wish I could perform the magic editing imagined... it's beyond me.
Last winter (2019) there was an abundance of wild food and it was also a very mild winter.. so no birds needed feeding here. This year there is real winter... and to my amazement, after 20 months away, the silvereyes returned.. and remembered me. Well... they remembered peanut butter ;-) On their first day back some even nibbled it from my fingers. Now they come to meet me. The brave ones land on my hand to eat, the clever ones find the peanut butter jar in my other hand :-) On the first day one jumped repeatedly on my head but not at all since. Another landed on my lens barrel, looked me straight in the eye, and told me to get on to more important things :-)
here's to patience, trust and peanut butter
happy free from fences friday ;-)
... with some backlit pegs for example

These are two different life stages of the same flower. It blooms as seen in the top photo, then forms a green spiky ball, then it "lets its hair down" in the final seed stage. (The hairy stage often reminds me of a Muppet!)
It is one of the earlier subalpine flowers to bloom so the meadow and lake basin at Owyhigh were filled with these flowers in their various stages of life.
