A MEDLEY of NATURE MOMENTS.

 

A  medley of fairly recent photos that I hope you enjoy. As I write this it is pouring  down.  We have had some dark days, but some remarkably interesting sunsets which  were taken on dark days, also garden flowers in bloom  and on the balcony, and some birds.  














































                    I will be linking up to "Wild Bird Wednesday" and "Saturday's Critters."

Dear Sonjia :)
Your pictures are absolutely amazing to look at. It's always so nice to see that you have the same birds at your place that I have here. It looks like you have a lot of azaleas in your garden. They are so beautiful. The pictures of the sky and clouds are also so nice.

All the best to you!
Happy Easter!

Many hugs.
Marit

Good morning, Fantastic Photographer Sonjia: I had no idea that I had the lung capacity to say ooh and ah so many times in a row, but that’s what happened when I looked through this gallery of excellence. Birds, flowers and VERY dramatic skies. My poor aging brain can barely process it all. I think that I shall put it aside for now and wait till about four o’clock this afternoon, pour a glass of wine and get some fine cheese with fresh bread from the bakery, and enjoy! If you lived here I would absolutely insist that you join me. No excuses accepted! Have a wonderful day and keep your camera handy. Hugs and kisses - David

The first photo is my favorite.
I wish you a beautiful Thursday.

Dear Sonjia,
these are absolutely gorgeous photos again – the greenfinch and the other birds, so wonderfully close and sharp, the spring flowers, and the dreamy sunsets!

It's still not raining enough here, but apparently another rainy day is coming tomorrow. I'd like it to be sunny the day after tomorrow (and the weather forecast promises it) because we're having family visits for Easter.

Happy Easter to you and everyone you care about!

All the best, Traude

You so beautifully capture the magic that is in our world. Wishing you and yours a very Happy Easter!

Yvonne said...

Beautiful photo of what I think is a woodpecker with nut in beak. Some beautiful sunsets captured, and I see lovely carnations. I always loved the ones that smelled of cloves, when I was young. It's always a joy to visit by blog.

Teresa said...

Por aquí también ha llovido mucho. Esas puestas de sol me parecen preciosas, como las aves también. Un abrazo.

Shiju Sugunan said...

You've captured some beautiful moments amidst the gloom! I especially love seeing the vibrant colors of the sunsets and flowers. And the birds are awesome!

Nick Morgan said...

Beautiful pictures Sonjia. Your plants are all so much more advanced than ours here. We have only just stopped having frosts, so it is only possible to plant out the more tender bedding plants now. Many of our trees are still not in leaf!

Tom said...

...Sonjia, these are "breathtaking!" The European greenfinch is a delight, it looks our goldfinch. Being a flower child, I love your flowers and trees. It's raining here today, April showers bring May flowers. Take care and be well.

A Casa Madeira said...

The images of these birds are beautiful!
Each one with its own colors, birds and plants.
And we are already at the end of the month again, it seems
that the days are flying by.
Happy start to the month of May.

Hi Sonjia, Another great array of photos demonstrating your skills.We went to a Baptist Church for a change last Sunday.Very friendly but quite different from our C of E but I don't think I will join as I don't fancy being totally immersed!
