The Sky...

The sky was absolutely mesmerising one particular day earlier on in the month. Clouds came and went lazily drifting. The day was warm, it was a perfect day for sky gazing. I stopped several times to capture the moments above me.

I sky gaze everyday. 

I always have.

By gazing at the sky I realise how insignificant and tiny I am in universe.

Not in a negative kind of way. 

More in awe.

I remember once walking along in the shallow warm salty water of the Indian Ocean, gazing upwards I felt so seen and so connected in that moment. 

Seen by the guiding presence of the unseen force of all creation. 

I feel this connection all the time; yet stilling myself for a few moments always enhances my connection to Source, the Mother of all...

 

A Single...

A single seed pod caught my attention as I was walking. 

It looked vulnerable here on its own. 

I wondered if the seed will actually complete it's journey to germination then to seedling and onto sapling before eventually becoming a tree...

 

Golden Sap...

Golden sap dribbling from a pine tree had attracted a copious amount of bees. Although not a source of food for the bees the sugary sap is collected to make propolis which serves to protect and seal the hive.

 I was actually having lunch out and purposely sat at the table right next to this tree. 

I was enthralled watching the bees working tirelessly harvesting the sap. No one else seemed even mildly interested in this amazing sight. Actually I don't really think any other diners actually noticed at all...

 

A Lovely...

A lovely little mushroom I noticed when out and about. I really love hunting for mushrooms and other interesting fungi during the cooler weather...

 

Water...

Water always draws me in, whether calm or stormy water oozes tranquility for me at the mere sight of it.

A few weeks ago ambling along the familiar tracks at Lake Leschenultia I was completely captivated by the shadowy patterns on the water. This took me into a walking meditation as light continued to dance across and through the water. 

Eurasian coots bobbed about upon the surface, lazily drifting in the cool morning breeze.

My attention shifted to plants and ripples and sparkling little diamonds of light the twinkled as the water undulated softly. The underwater realms are mysterious and intriguing, although here there aren't a wide variety of fish in this lake, still though it's such a fascinating kingdom.

There were other scenes that drew my attention on the track, yet mostly this particular day I just wanted to sit periodically and stroll slowly by the water...
