Thank you, Sophie, glad you enjoyed it! 🍁🍂 (Although it’s all the "wrong” season for you now, isn’t it? 😉) Hope you have a great time off from work and enjoy every day of freedom, creativity, trying something new or just doing nothing! 🥰
In Georgia, my family watches for the sand cranes to fly over every Thanksgiving in memory of my Dad who always looked out for them and called us to see the beauty. 🧡🍂
Thank you for sharing the photo of the cranes! I thought they might fly like with their neck softly folded like the grey herons which haunt the canals. Now I know they fly like swans, reaching their necks towards the horizon.
Thanks for reading, Sarah, and for taking the time to comment. Great that this post was so unexpectedly helpful. They are such wonderful birds! 🧡🍁🍂🪶
Herons are frequent visitors here. Standing on the neighbours’ flat roof at sunrise eyeing the fish in the next-door neighbour's pond. I love to watch him so close by. Beautiful!
Well, I might have a soft spot for birds by now, not only the elegant, gracious ones. 🐦😊
I'm not a birder, but I have always loved nature and learned as much as I can around it. I live, work and write from an off-grid narrowboat, so I'm lucky enough to have herons as neighbours.
I’ve found my way back to nature a while ago after too many years of disconnection and can’t believe that it took me so long to notice it. It has turned my life around, and my love for nature is a big part of my life now again. I love to explore and learn and read as much as I can about and around it as well. 🌿
I love the diary format, Claudia, and how you share all the small rhythms and tiny anchors with us 🙏 I especially love how you captured the way calm after a storm can literally recharge us 🫶
So happy for you to have taken the time to secure your memories of these days between the storms! Well done! Those cranes!! Oh my! They are beautiful and so close! I hope you make a reminder on your calendar to come back to this post periodically for its wonderful soothing qualities. I am doing that! :-)
Thank you so much for your kind words, Sandy! I'm so glad it resonated with you the way it did. It is very special for me to see how the small, simple, but, if you look closely, beautiful things I find in my little garden inspire others too. No big adventures needed. Just noticing what's around you. So beautiful, so soothing. Thank you for being here!
What a beautiful read Claudia! Reading I was oooh-ing and aaah-ing with you. The cranes, wow! And I'm so happy for you that the squirrel is back in your garden! They are indeed so cute! The mushrooms, the yellows, the unexpected pink... Autumn, I love it! 😊
Thank you so much, Hilda! It's so lovely to share these little stories and experiences with people who understand what I'm talking about and share my excitement and happiness. Thank you for being here! 🧡🍂🍁🍄🐿😊
Thank you for your kind words, Terri! I'm glad my post resonated with you. Sometimes it's just the seemingly small and simple things that matter most, right? Have a lovely time outside and in your yard! 🍂🌿✨️
An another beautiful and enjoyable read Claudia💚🌿 Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reflections ❣️
Thank you, Tony! It's so lovely to hear that you liked it. 😊💗
Outwardly unspectacular, but when you notice them and listen to them, they are all the more enriching inwardly.
Yes love that. 🙂 also the lake looks beautiful!
Oh this calmed me down just reading it, and looking at your beautiful pictures. Hope you continue to have a wonderful autumn 🍁

Are you an avid birder?

That sounds awesome (all of it)! ☺️

I enjoy your writing and pictures.
I also enjoy spending time and working in my yard….just being outside…in Texas.
Thank you for reminding me to be grateful for all the good in my life.
