Keep Eyes Open

Image result for Back garden with swimming pool pictures












Essex
England

I am sitting in the beautiful
Back garden of my Nephew's House
in Essex County

Back Garden is small but very well planned
big swimming pool in the center
rest of the backyard space
is covered with pebbles
all around green tall trees
Flowering plants in the pots

Variety of Ceramic pot collection
Engraved steel grey  --  Bluish Grey
Reddish brown ---  white china bowl
very different variety of pots

Muddy color stony boot shaped
bird bath with stony beautiful bird
taking a sip from the boot

Couple of bird feeders hanging
in the garden the one caught
my eyes was wire basket
shaped feeder

In the corner two faded green color
wooden benches are placed
under the shade of big tree
I am sitting on one of these benches
its faded green color
giving a very natural touch

Under my feet  dry grass
adding the beauty of atmosphere
in this very small corner
It is so relaxing I can sit for hours
doing nothing just having a feel
of the quietness
you can only hear birds chirping

Next is summer house like a
small shed for my Nephew's two kids
who are now in university
so the summer house is converted
into Gym place
at one corner is a faded colored
wooden well giving a village touch
Couple of days back I was in the famous
Kew Garden
believe me sitting in this corner
looks to me a Micro picture of that
I am completely to myself
if we keep our eyes open
it is so much to see so much to absorb
and so much to enjoy

    I agree, like sitting in a park and listening to all the sounds of nature is so peaceful.
    Enjoy your time.

Bird are busy picknicking

    Beautiful morning sunny and bright. No more rain. We had already more than enough of it. Grass and flowers, don't need any watering. It is 26 C, hot day.   This is weekend, I have to do my hair color. My friend invited me for afternoon tea. I will go there. It is always good to be with friends and family. We have to accept invitations, to make our day. I think, calls are sort of blessings. Signals from God for us to gather happiness. Life is nearly the same for everyone. It is all up to us, how we take it.  Try to give color to the moments in hand. Sitting idle, doing nothing, won't bring happiness. Try to be active, do something, anything you like to do. Go for walk, to look the scenery around.  Some people like outdoors, some not. They like to be indoors. Find the spot of your choice in your garden / balcony, get book / magazine of your interest, to be happy. Bird watching is beautiful. You feel great, watching them doing things, you get involved.

Nature is great

     October 29th 2024 It's a different scenario today. Cloudy morning hazy sky. Sun is hiding under his gray blanket. It is Tuesday so I don't have to go to work. No Darts today at the library. It is a day off for me. I have to make other plans to make my day. Day offs are like clean slates. We have to write our schedule to fill out the columns of the day. When we have to go to work or school, our timings are all set.  We don't have to worry about how to pass our time. We have just a couple of hours left to sort out after coming back from our workplace or school. Weekends and day offs are tricky. We need some homework to fill out our day slots. Try to make it like a combo, a mixed plate to have a taste of everything. Day offs are like blank sheets. We can write, paint, whatever we want to do, to fill out. Every day is like a container with twenty four hours of consignment. It's delivered every morning.  We have to open it and use to finish it up. It all has to be done

Have a taste of Nature

      October 22nd 2024 Great morning 18C. It is like summer for Canadians. Couple of more days to enjoy the outdoors.  Beautiful leaves of all colors are everywhere giving a scenic look to the atmosphere to behold and to cherish these moments. Nature is amazing. There is always something for we Humans to make our day. Take some time off from your day today to look around. You will find beauty everywhere. It doesn't matter in which part of the world you live. Don't have to plan for long trips. It is all at your doorsteps. Keep your eyes open and take a break to smell the nature around. You will get the flavor and also inner peace deep down. It will be a rare happiness all on its own. You don't have to make any payments, any investments for that. Just a time alone slot and all the transactions will be done. It works like meditation. It's 11.45, I am at Tim Hortons enjoying my small tea, not coffee today. We have to change our menu too. It works something like a change of
