Sometimes it’s hard to fit a square peg in a
round hole. Trying to blend into the
background and not stand out is hard. Or
actually fitting in with everyone around, and going with their flow a very
trying experience. The best you can do
is be yourself. If your colours shine, let
them. It is inevitable there will be
ones that don’t want to agree or go with your flow. That’s part of life. One thing though don’t let your colours dull
through the thoughtlessness of others.
Be kind to yourself and others and let those colours sparkle.
Sunday afternoon is fast coming to an
end. Which, stating the obvious the weekend
too. A new week is about to begin. So went back to check on our dragonfly
friends from Friday to see how their weekend was panning out. Buzzing around the lakes. They were out on their afternoon ‘buzz’. Different colours, sizes all hanging together
having fun in the sun. Hope your weekend
has been a great one. :)
Dragonflies where dancing because it’s
Friday. They were gearing up for the
weekend. Hanging out at their favourite
pond discussing what’s going to happen over the weekend. Birthday’s to celebrate, sporting events to
attend too, relaxation, catch a few bugs.
It’s all going off. So whatever
you have planned this weekend; enjoy. :)
Green ants always do a merry dance just
before it rains. There has been plenty
of dancing today. They have been busy
little beavers going back and forth along the gardens edge. Making new homes in the trees above. Weaving their magic to glue the leaves
together to protect themselves from the elements. They may be small but sometimes good things
do come in small packages. Unless they
bite you.
I'm not sure how many of you remember the
movie 'Mr Deeds'. It was an Adam Sandler
movie, and the butler was a very cool man indeed. He could turn up when you least expected it
and whenever questioned how he did it; "I am very sneaky
sneaky". Our little friend was
hiding in the Christmas bell tree today.
(So you know I'm not a green thumb and unfortunately don't know technical
name.) Nonetheless, he crept along in
search of next snack and then froze whenever someone come near blending into
the plant at Botanical Gardens. He had a
busy day of being in stealth mode a lot of people were around enjoying the
sunshine.
Let me just say a big 'THANK YOU' for hanging out and for your patience, while I've been updated A Year Through the Lens. I'm sorry didn't get to post everyday but have definitely been taking the photos each day. Now all up to date, tomorrow Day 204! So please enjoy and get ready to go to Tasmania at the end of next week. :)
Thanks again
Michele :)
The Botanical Gardens
and lakes have many waterways. Yet there
is one special little pond where the dragonflies hang out. There are blue, red, black and all coloured ones
there. A dragonfly life cycle is only about
two months after they hatch from the nymph stage of living in the water. So the race is on for our little friend to find
a mate, and begin the cycle all over again. Talk about pressure.
