FENCES IN MY GARDEN

I was helping a friend to move from her house into Botanica Lifestyle Resort and she didn’t want to bring this lovely garden seat so she gave it to me.  I am going to oil it as the sun is very strong here. (when I get a minute!!!)

WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY

While visiting a restaurant, I heard VERY noisy birds high up in these trees and realised they were nesting there and it seemed that they were all squabbling!!  Now I am not 100% what they were, as I did not have binoculars. I “think” Common Myna however I am hoping Stewart of Wild Bird Wednesday might help us out with an ID.

SUNDAY THOUGHT

        For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty 

is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.

WEEKEND REFLECTIONS AND THE WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is Q and Quick.   This first photograph illustrates a Q for QUICK and I struggled to get the actual word QUICK so  my second shot is the alternative for QUICK –FAST.  Works for me!! My final shot is Lex, a friend I  play cards with who put on ( for fun) one of the ladies hats and I snapped him!! His wife thought this was hilarious.

This is my STREET PHOTOGRPHY today.

GOOD FENCES

These shots were when I had a birding holiday in Cosa Rica quite a number of years ago.  I never really showed you many photographs of that trip however now I would not remember all the bird names so would you still like to see them?  I do not have to time to research them again.
