Surge of activity

Hi beautiful

After all the soaking rain this past week, there's a new energy in the garden. Here's some photos of a few little creatures getting on with their lives!

It's all happening in the nature world. So much so, that I've revived my second blog, "Close By". You can find it here. Enjoy!

Close by : a walk after rain

Hi beautiful,

Frangipani in bloom

Summertime here in the subtropics brings with it the afternoon storms and rain. Yesterday, we had a lovely downpour. I enjoyed sitting outside, under the umbrella, deeply inhaling the smell and sound of the rain. After a few hours, the rain stopped, the clouds drifted away and the sun shone brightly.

The cooler temperature enticed me out for a walk. As always after such cleansing rain, the world seem to shine a little brighter. I took the opportunity to take photos and recorded some video footage of my walk - a walk close by.

Enjoy this short clip.  Close by : a walk after rain

Love
