In less than an hour
nature appeared in so many ways.
First was the sky,
showing off dark and light
in full beauty.
Next, the sun decided to shine onto the pool,
making a beautiful pattern of light.
It shimmered for a long time.
We were immediately greeted by a Goldfinch
eating seeds from our tall flowers.
And finally, the new flowers under “Ted”
burst into bloom.
Ted was Hubby’s brother.
When Hubby last visited Ted in Florida,
with his sister,
they went to a consignment shop
and found this gigantic fish.
The fish cost peanuts,
the shipping was another story.
And so Ted the fish lives proudly
at the pool.
He is our constant and strongest reminder
of all the good times.
Nature is always there, showing off, hoping we notice.
Thank goodness I notice.

How lovely! Sunshine on the pool, and Ted looking happy to be on the fence next to the flowers.
Best wishes, Pete.
Lovely Jennie, good to notice nature, soothes the soul!
Thanks for sharing these beautiful and meaningful images and videos, Jennie. If you notice nature, you must care about it. We need more people like that.
It’s so good that you notice these small things that enrich your life so beautifully. Thank you for sharing them and for reminding us to “open our eyes”!
