My neighbor's, and they do attract a lot of butterflies.
However, because of the special interest mosquitoes have on me, I could never think of sitting near them and waiting for that perfect butterfly moment. Just a few minutes out that evening, I was kissed multiple times.
Yes I could always apply repellent but nothing could completely stop their love for me!
On the storm front, Mr. Henri decided to take a further eastward path and gifting us with rains and mild wind.
All good here, and hope you are, too! :-)

The power of ice over the ages moves mountains, carves stone, and created canyons, to the power of ice......cheers 😉
Background just filled a round cover for 50 CDs with water put in the stone, set on back patio, three hours later brought in and wiped off an inch of snow and snapped this 2-1/2 inch close up frame.

Life Doesn't Frighten Me
by Maya Angelou
Shadows on the wall
Noises down the hall
Life doesn't frighten me at all
Bad dogs barking loud
Big ghosts in a cloud
Life doesn't frighten me at all
Mean old Mother Goose
Lions on the loose
They don't frighten me at all
Dragons breathing flame
On my counterpane
That doesn't frighten me at all.
I go boo
Make them shoo
I make fun
Way they run
I won't cry
So they fly
I just smile
They go wild
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Tough guys fight
All alone at night
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Panthers in the park
Strangers in the dark
No, they don't frighten me at all.
That new classroom where
Boys all pull my hair
(Kissy little girls
With their hair in curls)
They don't frighten me at all.
Don't show me frogs and snakes
And listen for my scream,
If I'm afraid at all
It's only in my dreams.
I've got a magic charm
That I keep up my sleeve
I can walk the ocean floor
And never have to breathe.
Life doesn't frighten me at all
Not at all
Not at all.
Life doesn't frighten me at all.
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

We went to the Western Treatment Plant a couple of days ago. First time since the beginning of the year. We were lucky enough to spot the Brolgas early on and I could lean against the car and take some images. I chose this one as it kind of fits the end of year theme.
Walking away from 2022 and into 2023.
This year has taught me a lot about resilience, slow breathing, calmness, asking for help, pacing, disability and not taking anything for granted. Because of those things, I can't completely turn my back on 2022 but will take what I have learnt into the New Year.
The Sherpa and I are heading up to the hills next week to a cabin in rainforest. I hope I can do some photography.
I want again thank-you for your on-going support. You are ALL incredible special people that I am lucky to have in my life.
Wishing you the best of health and happiness for 2023 and the strength to meet any challenges that come your way.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. Confucius
Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.
Ashley Smith
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Aldous Huxley
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
To love beauty is to see light. Victor Hugo
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. Jawaharlal Nehru

I actually wanted to delete this image, but after cropping it and doing a few edits, I really like it. I hope you like it too!
In a world that often seeks to silence and diminish the voices of women, the product of strong women stands as a bold and unapologetic celebration of their strength, courage, and unwavering determination. It is a powerful reminder that we are all capable of creating a better, more equitable world, one that values and uplifts the contributions of all its members.

Built by King Edward 1 between 1282 and 1287 to show he was in charge. The tall tower in the center was the "King's Tower" and is thought to have housed important officers to the king.
*Working Towards a Better World
Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved. -Mattie Stepanek
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. -Mahatma Gandhi
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong. - Leo Buscaglia
I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death. -Leonardo da Vinci
There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast. -Charles Dickens
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. - Buddha
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Die Natur ist sonderbar. Leider kenne ich die Pflanze nicht. Ein verdrillen wird in anderen Bereichen zur Erhöhung der Zugfestigkeit angewandt. Haben wir es von der Natur abgeschaut?
Twisted branches
Nature is strange. Unfortunately I don't know the plant. Twisting is applied in other areas to increase tensile strength. Did we copy it from nature?
This moment of Show Jumping Championship I captured in Spruce Meadows Equestrian Facility in Calgary, Alberta. Canada.
When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend, just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
If you will learn to begin to trust the voice within

This is the exposed root system of a Spruce Pine tree in a forest of Pines on Mackinaw Island Michigan.
Mackinaw Island is a non-motor vehicle island and most people either walk or ride bikes. It's a 7 mile bike ride around the island and there are many opportunities to capture beautiful images.
The pine forest there is thick with breaks in the canopy to allow soft light to filter through.
Thanks for sopping by.
I don’t get close to this open beak! He is a rescue and only handled by my husband. He’s not aggressive, just a brat without manners that doesn't know his strength.
For Macro Monday's theme "open". The frame is cropped to less than 3 inches. You'll have to take my word for it since I don't dare hold a ruler up to him...LOL. :-)
