Grounded Sublime And Beautiful Sunday
Shoulder season with constant change from warm morning to windy afternoon dragging the clouds across the sky above in what is now evening here and thunder storm approaching from the south. Time off possibly of late one of the rare days I make sure to take time to get to share some of what is happening over here.
Chaos breaking out around the world it is pretty to remain above ground, be grounded trying to keep going in good cheer irrespective of discomfort one feels in the air.
Shell ginger (Alpinia zerumbet) currently in flower, a plant from East Asia we do have to watch spread it may become invasive, not excessively high on the list. What a pretty bloom it is crazy to think the pretty waxy flowers on long green fronds are not really welcome, perhaps how many feel of late.
Natal Bottle brush in bloom with white-bellied sunbird eyeing out the flowers opening now, glistening in the full sun this morning which changed soon enough after midday.
Incoming clouds cutting edge blue sky,
this leads onto the birds taking to the thermals playing above, swallows catching meal of the day as insects rise up,
or kite simply enjoying the high windy conditions, more than likely grinning down at me below envious of free motion and movement above.
Ornamental fern change of clothing, new season arriving must mean time for new growth, sprouting shoots to give the next display of unfurling to my delight.
Agave plant currently sending up stalk to flower, always interesting to witness sunbirds love of blooms a few years ago when the one I had in a pot flowered. Wait and watch with interest.
Cha cha cha the shongololo or millipede as people around the world refer to them, our name remains shongololo. Isn't it gorgeous?
Checked the ground out decided to remain above, don't blame it far easier although can easily accomplish steep descent on all 'thousand feet' although they do not actually have a thousand legs not sure who checked
Bathing in the sun before weather changes is skink, not the biggest in the garden, today the most handsome enjoying the tree trunk baking away.
So we love and leave with a quick chirp from the tree enjoying ground above all around, wishing you a wonderful week friends.
