Endless surprises of Nature!... Life truly delights in continuously surprising us with its wonders... I don't know about you, but the mushrooms known as 'puffballs' that I've seen are never larger than a golf ball. THIS one that I happened upon however... is GIANT!... It radiates its white colour in the sunlight like a beacon in the middle of the clearing where it grew. I couldn't help but exclaim wonder out loud. I never tire of discovering more of Nature's miracles... … [Read more...]

Nature's delightful nocturnal symphony... I love Nature's symphonies at all times, including the song birds during the day... There's something so uplifting with them all - notes of joyfulness that proclaim the pure essence of every being that sings and calls out. I find that the nocturnal symphony, beginning with the sunset, is so delightful since there's less for our eyes to see with the darkness. It seems that our sense of hearing receives much more nuances of the different notes … [Read more...]

Moths, although less conspicuous than their diurnal cousins, display intricate patterns, colours, shapes and humming flutters in the night... When the sun sets and the butterflies rest, moths take over their role as pollinators. They don't receive as much attention as the colourful, more obvious butterflies, but they can rival them with their unique charms. Many have wings that look like leaves and some wings are as large as a hand in wingspan. They also often look neutral in colour but … [Read more...]

The diversity of flowers that exist continues to amaze me!... Flowers are such an infinite delight to our senses... their shapes, colours, scents, textures, sizes, petals, foliage,... They're such a blessing to have in our world, simply for the pleasures they offer us as they are, not to mention that they transform into all sorts of delectable edibles with a variety of uses... Regardless of the environments I've been in (forests, prairies, meadows, swamps, deserts, shores, temperate, … [Read more...]

Nature-inspired and co-created works of art are my favourite type of art... Whether using natural materials to adorn oneself or decorate spaces, sacred geometry to create architecture, or images of nature to create visual masterpieces... from simple to elaborate, it appeals to me aesthetically and delights my heart and soul...! I received this gorgeous Hawaiian lei made of multiple types of flowers blossoming on the Big Island, and it's not only visually beautiful, it also celebrates a … [Read more...]

We just never know who might be co-existing with us in our environment, regardless where we are!... I was quite surprised to encounter this pretty snail this morning, just a few yards away from the lanai door. I hadn't seen one yet on the Big Island and this one was SO obvious, approximately the size of a Brazil nut in the middle of my path! I love spirals and so this little being's shell (in which it was hiding when I discovered it) was a delight to behold... Who might be sharing your … [Read more...]

It's so easy to overlook things in our environment that we get used to seeing. We might see the same species of birds, mammals or trees and not really notice them anymore since they're no longer a novelty... I tend to do that in urban areas, but when I'm out in Nature, I always see things with wonder - as if seeing them for the first time. Even if I've seen Chickadees, Oaks, Clover, the Moon, the Sunset, or Stars thousands of times, I still delight in every one I see. Having this … [Read more...]
