Simple Reality

Sometimes I enjoy watching what's going on in my own little garden.
The feistiest hummingbird in North America. The brilliant orange male and the green-and-orange female Rufous Hummingbird are relentless attackers at flowers and feeders, going after (if not always defeating) even the large hummingbirds of the Southwest, which can be double their weight. Rufous Hummingbirds are wide-ranging, and breed farther north than any other hummingbird
In good light, male Rufous Hummingbirds glow like coals: bright orange on the back and belly, with a vivid iridescent-red throat. Females are green above with rufous-washed flanks, rufous patches in the green tail, and often a spot of orange in the throat.

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand"
When feeling lost, I find meaning in the simple pleasures of life.

that connect you to the past, a time when everything was easy... those are the ones that bring the most joy.
Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.

Those who know me, know I like to twist and turn my camera in every directon possible. Never stops amazing me how a simple but turns to an abstract piece when i tilt my camera. HWW to all. Slowly making my way back to Flickr to pardon my slow response, views and comments. Hope you all had a wonderful New Year and wish you the best in the year to come.
The Autumn had some nice and sunny days, but the Winter is coming soon. The next week the frosty mornings will arrive maybe with some snow.

Thank you very much for your faves and comments!
I can't write answers in every time, but I always appreciate very much your time! Thank you!
our body is simple
what is complicated is our heads
so many wishes to fulfill
more and want more
Our head is simple isn't it
What's complicated is our mind
as vast as the universe
and we cannot guess every thought of a man
Our thoughts are simple
what is complicated is our feelings
who are always fighting to determine
a decision and a wish
We are simple humans aren't we?
which always complicates the state of the world

Poinsettias.
Poinsettias are part of the Euphorbiaceae or Spurge family. Botanically, the plant is known as Euphorbia pulcherrima.
Many plants in the Euphorbiaceae family ooze a milky sap. Some people with latex allergies have had a skin reaction (most likely to the sap) after touching the leaves. For pets, the poinsettia sap may cause mild irritation or nausea. Probably best to keep pets away from the plant, especially puppies and kittens.
Poinsettias are not poisonous. A study at Ohio State University showed that a 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 leaves to have any harmful effect. Plus poinsettia leaves have an awful taste. You might want to keep your pets from snacking on poinsettia leaves. Eating the leaves can cause vomiting and diarrhea.
The showy colored parts of poinsettias that most people think of as the flowers are actually colored bracts (modified leaves).
Poinsettias have also been called the lobster flower and the flame-leaf flower, due to the red color.
December 12th is Poinsettia Day, which marks the death of Joel Roberts Poinsett in 1851.
In Mexico, the Poinsettia is displayed in celebration of the "Dia de la Virgen", which is also coincidentally, December 12th.
The Aztecs used the Poinsettia bracts to make a reddish purple dye for fabrics, and used the sap medicinally to control fevers.
