  • Empty Bird Nest

    Empty Bird Nest

    There was an empty bird nest on the ground on our porch this morning. I know where it was placed but not sure how it fell down. Perhaps the wind? Fortunately it has served its purpose and all the birds have left before this happened..

    Take a closer look at this bird nest. I have no idea what birds they were, but look at this most intricate, tedious work.. I remember seeing them bringing twigs or grass in their beaks and constructing the nest from nothing. All the while they had to guard and protect the site and make sure it’s safe for their offspring. It is truly incredible when you think about it. I’m always in awe of something like this..

  • Ever Changing Clouds

    Ever Changing Clouds

    If you haven’t already noticed, I’m fascinated by clouds. They are never the same. They constantly change form and each moment is unique. What you see right now will not be the same the next second. It’s a great reminder that nothing lasts forever..

  • Up, Up to the Sky..

    Up, Up to the Sky..

    Not much to report today, but look at this.. Entirely Mother Nature’s creation. Absolutely no A.I.

  • Just Another Mundane Day

    Just Another Mundane Day

    In order to avoid the heat I went out and worked in the yard as soon as I finished my daily Españo course this morning. I filled up all the bird feeders when I noticed they were completely empty. And I saw a ground squirrel for the first time in our backyard..

    It’s mundane but I don’t mind a bit. I’m quite content with a life like this..

  • Our Land of Enchantment

    Our Land of Enchantment

    This is one of the two favorite spots of ours to observe clouds and sunsets. This one is at the end of Ave Vista Grande, where we have to make a left turn in order to get home.

    We used to frequent these two spots before sunset after we moved here and even more often during the pandemic. Looking back, it was such an uncertain time from various perspectives. But we always found somewhat a sense of peace when we parked our car there and watched the sun slowly disappear behind the mountains. We live in the Land of Enchantment, and that feeling confirms our decision. We are exactly we are supposed to be at this moment.

  • Give A Little Love

    Give A Little Love

    It doesn’t cost a thing. Give a little love, to total strangers, to passers by, to the universe.. When there’s a string attached, the love was never real. It’s the easiest thing to do if we could see past our differences. Won’t you give a little love to your fellow human beings, or to yourself?

  • Late Friday Afternoon Friends

    Late Friday Afternoon Friends

    Met some new friends on today’s walk. I’m looking forward to visiting them again in the near future..

  • Finding Beauty in Simple Things

    Finding Beauty in Simple Things

    Do you know what these are?

    These are dead leaves of the agave that died last year. We never got rid of it. It’s still sitting there with its stalk standing tall and all the dried flowers on top of it. We see it as an art piece in our garden. Like a statue, almost. Let’s see how long we get to enjoy its beauty.

  • Another Moody Monday

    Another Moody Monday

    Can’t pinpoint what it was, but today started out quite positively and now I’m feeling a bit in a funk. I was in good spirit, did my Español lesson religiously after breakfast, then sat on the porch reading a book while watching incense burn. At that moment all felt “right”, as if this was all I ever wanted..

    It’s yet another hot summer day that the temperature reached low 90°F. Towards afternoon, clouds got thicker and the sun disappeared. We came back home from town and I saw the currently flowering agave. It’s beautiful, and at the same time it dampened my mood. I brought my camera and captured this image..

  • Magnificent Small Wonders

    Magnificent Small Wonders

    Have you ever taken a closer look at Bluebeard flowers? It always blows my mind looking at those delicate, intricate shapes and forms. Not to mention the color, which has always been my favorite when it comes to plants.
