I was surprised to find this beauty hanging in there... surrounded by seed pods... how could I not take this shot!!
Außergewöhnliche Tulpenarten
In den letzten Tagen ihres Lebens sind sie am schönsten.
Even if they are in the vase, they smell of spring.
I find them most beautiful in the last days of their lives.

Die Sori bei Farnen sind an der Unterseite der Blätter hängende Gruppen von Sporangien, die an Erhebungen des Blattes (so genannten Plazenten) ansetzen. Die unterschiedliche Anordnung der Sori auf der Blattfläche und die Form der Sori sind wichtige Bestimmungsmerkmale.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you like my image of my buddy.... Buster is my shadow and follows me everywhere!!
Another old image which I took in June. Can't wait til the weather gets better to take some beautiful frosty landscapes shots :) Hope you like it!
Due to the weather I got my location much later. By then it was windy and full of noises from the kids coming out to play. So, this robin stopped here only for a brief moment for a couple of shots. It was all in a hurry. At the lens closest range, perhaps a bit too close. No time for adjustment, image is straight from the camera, unedited.

Since lockdown, the animals behaviour have changed especially the squirrels in my local area. The seagulls and pigeons have encroached their territory. The squirrels are now scared, not so easy to photograph them anymore.
This female squirrel is pregnant. She came down from the tree a few times to get the groundnuts from me but she would not come close. When she got the nut she will climb up a tree keeping her distant until she finishes the nut before coming down again.
Although it is noted that animals can be seen more easily these days as compared to before lockdown. The sudden change of the way of life has certainly affected not only humans but of animals too.
Has there been less food for the squirrels ? Most probably it has as the seagulls have move inland to find food because the tourist trade has ceased and not much food for the seagulls at the seafront. Same goes for the pigeons.
So, it is not that a place had became quiet and other animals appear. They are actually forced to look for a greener pasture. Just an observation in my normal location shoot of squirrels.

Thank you very much for your visits, comments and faves!
You face so many challenging, unknown, unchosen and terrorizing circumstances that have a tendency to drain the color from your vision and create an incredibly unclear atmosphere. And though you often don’t know how to keep going and many times just want to quit, you work very hard and are often surprised to see a little colorful sunlight among your bleak surroundings. This stark contrast is a beautiful reminder that opposing experiences and feelings can exist at the same time—you don’t have to deny the truth and it’s ok to recognize reality in a healthy way.

A few days ago I was struggling a lot with my own intense mental health struggles in addition to the stress and fear of my husband’s health struggles and recent hospitalization. Somehow I found the strength to spend some time outside capturing the beauty I saw in the fog and frost that was visible through the windows that morning—it seemed to tell an important, uplifting story that helped me continue pressing on.
