I appreciate your views and comments, thank you! Have a great day!
This branch of a Willow tree in spring looked so elegant when I took the picture but there was no background to give it a bit more pizzazz. For Sliders Sunday, I played with some backgrounds and colours to create this look. It was fun to just set my creativity free. I liked the glow this created on the leaves.
Mr L bought me some lovely flowers in gorgeous autumn colours and nestled hidden in the middle was this pink Gerbera. Very pretty in its own right but clashing badly with the rest. So Miss odd one out got taken out and put in her own vase. Thanks for viewing and have a lovely Sunday 💕
I love these pretty pink flowers, but I'm not to sure what they are called...
Thank you for the comment's and favourites my friends! Hope you all have a good weekend...
Still not many butterflies around. This year I'm even excited if I see a common cabbage white butterfly in the garden. This one was feeding on my woodland sage (Salvia nemorosa). A few moments later it narrowly escaped the Dragon's claws and teeth.

Pretty Flamingo is one of a group of flamingoes in a local park. They are used to people and sometimes allow you to get quite close. I didn't even need a telezoon lens but could take this photo with my macro lens.

“That last week the syringa came out at San Salvatore, and all the acacias flowered. No one had noticed how many acacias there were till one day the garden was full of a new scent, and there were the delicate trees, the lovely successors to the wistaria, hung all over among their trembling leaves with blossom. When, on the first of May, everybody went away, even after they had got to the bottom of the hill and passed through the iron gates out into the village they still could smell the acacias. They could smell them even when they reached London. But that’s another story.” ― Elizabeth von Arnim, “The Enchanted April” 1922
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 28th of September is “flowers in pastel”, and since September indicates the beginning of spring in the Southern Hemisphere, I had a multitude of spring blossoms to choose from. Ornamental apple blossom is one of my favourite examples of spring blossom, so as I took this on the 2nd of September, it seemed the perfect choice for this week’s theme. I hope you like it too, and that it makes you smile!

Some people think Wood Storks are ugly. They resent how they move into the rookery and usurp the tree islands, crowding out the Great Blues and Anhinga who had settled in prior to this pushy intrusion. And that noisy sex that goes on all the time, that clashing of bills drawing attention to what, I should think we would all agree, be done in private, or at least in the darkness of night. Well, I for one am deeply offended. Yet, when I look at this bird, I can’t help but seeing its inner beauty. Yes, I’m a closet Wood Stork lover. There should be help for folk like me, but to hell I say, I’m coming out of the closet and will embrace my affliction without shame! (And, let me just add, this is no laughing matter.)
