Wordless Wednesday : Nature's Marvel

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun

And find your shoulder to light on,

To bring you luck, happiness and riches

Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Post-Festive Blues n Bliss

With the Diwali festivities coming to an end, its time for a wee bit of B-R-E-A-K before the Joy of Christmas and the Year End reminiscing set the mood soaring high all over again.....

These last few days, post Diwali, I have been indulging myself in being SUPER Lazy n doing NOTHING!

...Nothing worthwhile that is; except lazing out in the garden, enjoying the winter-y balmy sun; watch the bees, the butterflies n the recently planted winter seasonal flowers (The Calendula, Marigolds, Verbena, Phlox, Poppy, Dianthus, Astor, Hollyhock, Petunias n Pansies, Nasturtiums n more..) grow stronger n taller by the day, before they begin to Bloom n more...

The Veggie patch (Mustard, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Raddish, Brinjals, Spinach, Chili’s n more…) is looking promising as well, provided we get to save the new plantation from the marauding monkeys, who visit our garden almost everyday creating H-A-V-O-C. Its a task to keep them at bay.

Well, Isn't it a beautiful time of the year as we ‘wait n watch’ the Garden Break into a Riot of Colours in the months to come?

Needless, to say, it’s my favorite time of the year, as I simply Love the winters n the months of October, November, December….as they quickly roll past heralding in a Brand New Year.

PS: Phew! I have a huge pile of work that needs immediate attention. PLUS, I still have to visit the Plant Nursery one more time to buy some Salvia’s n Dahlia’s n more….

PSS: ...N…Hmmm...… Need to resume my evening Walks n...

 ..Need to urgently Shrug-off this post festive Blues n Bliss… n the S-U-P-E-R Laziness that comes with it.

Butterfly Blues...

Little Wonders
from Nature




Little yellow butterfly, pretty little butterfly
I cannot catch you, much as I try.
You flit here, you flit there;
You are here, there….everywhere.
You are so light and airy,
Much like a tiny fairy.
You visit each lovely flow’er,
Sip its nectar like a lover.
Oh! What pleasure, Oh! What leisure,
Oh! What leisure in your pleasure.

- Mumtaz F. Kachwalla @ Nichin Bonsai, 02 I 2008



Happiness is like a Butterfly.
You run behind it, it keeps flying away…
But if you stand still,
It comes and sits on your shoulder….
So.....
Lets all stand still for a moment, while savouring the bountiful beauty of Nature n Butterflies!

Here's Wishin all my friends and readers lots n lots of BUTTERFLIES!

PS: The video n photograph was shot by me …sometime last year… while out in our garden.
