Life as a mom, nana and follower of Christ; hoping to share from lessons learned
The weekly photo challenge was to depict one.
I was sitting out in the sun today, taking time out to reflect on the week, and this little guy was making a fuss hanging out in a tree overhead.
Hanging out looking for bugs
Soon after, a friend joined him
And then there were two
I got to watch them chase each other around the tree
Around the corner
I love to work in my yard. I find it to be calming and restorative as well as invigorating. Today, it was a windy day, strangely chilly for South Florida this time of year. We have milkweed in the butterfly garden and the wind was picking up milkweed pods and scattering them haphazardly about the yard.
I began to think how they are picked up and slung around, bruised and sometimes broken, torn into pieces, yet they flutter about doing good, throwing seed to and fro.
It reminded me of us. We can learn from mistakes, grow from struggles, keep the faith and still yield some good fruit that is beneficial to others. Nature always teaches if we just stop to observe.
I wanted to share this with you because I find so much happiness in watching it. My husband is a fishing guide and every day when he comes in, he has some friends that hang around waiting for handouts. They seem to know when he is coming before I do and stay right with him until they get some dinner. I hope you enjoy!
This old guy begins to wait patiently for my husband to come in from fishing
I think he heard the boat coming before I did
About the time I can hear it coming, he takes off in flight towards it
soaring along, food on his mind
He finds the boat and paddles along behind it all the way in
Now he is joined by a friend
and then there were three, eagerly awaiting their dinner
