Seasonal Change
Transitions And Changes
Like most of us we hit certain seasons, some in anticipation others with dread, knowing nature is never wrong predicting which season she is in.
Shoulder seasons are Spring and Fall, both times of the year I most enjoy from one day to the next something different transpires.
Likened to Spring in life when everything blooms with lustre, Autumn leading to the golden years, hopefully ready to go slower yet still have enough juice over! After sucking lemons partially along a journey, managed to store some lemonade for later.
Transitions and changes, embracing seasons with open arms enjoying each moment, make each happier than the last. Like everything around us we change, something around us influences our seasons, making change into a new phase we may not ask for, it will happen.
"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each." - Henry David Thoreau
We cannot change circumstance, seasons, wind, we are only able to make the most with each day enjoying new beginnings as life presents its own phases of happiness or not so happy periods we face.
Embrace what we are unable to alter as revealed. Occasional tears of sadness or joy like rain drops falling from above, times rejuvenating or consequence of feeling life tugging at our heart.
We bigger than we realize, smaller than we know, fact is seasons keep turning in an ever changing world.
All photography from month of August (except Bloukop over July/August), our shoulder season in the Southern Hemisphere, one day rain the next shine!

Thought for Today: "However long the dry season takes a seasonal river will never forget where it used to pass." - African Proverb
Life has a way of showing us how big we are and yet small. Better to always face each day with humility, positive vibes with smile on our faces.
Beautiful shots 📷 as always 👌
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
When lightning strikes as it did last night, definitely reminds you of how small you are! First Spring rain although not the first rain in Winter this arrived with electrical dance which is different.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the weekend, hopefully next one will be back at home in Benin. !LUV

You are quite right, I also think that spring and autumn are the two best times.
What beautiful photographs of flowers and birds, I love the diversity they have there
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid afternoon
Happens suddenly so they say, not really it warms ever so slightly when you notice on closer inspection much is blooming like neon signs to let you know nature is busy making her next move.
Have a lovely Sunday and thanks for visiting.

As a little boy, I looked forward to every season because every season has its own charm.
For the past few years, spring and fall seem to be the most acceptable. Spring ends winter and autumn brings a slowdown after a "wild" summer.
Not only nature is changing. We also change and our "preferences" change :-).
I wish you a nice rest of the weekend.
When we look back over life we change, perhaps not noticing at first, accepting seasonal change within ourselves through different eyes.
Appreciate your visit and kind words in sharing.
Yes. Our "point of view" is what changes faster than the weather :-).
Sometimes we need to stop, take a breath, too much being bombarded at people of late. 🙃confused with current events worldwide...
The world has gone pretty crazy. The only certainty is that nothing is certain.
Hello and thanks @qurator the first community I joined 😚always enjoy your visits @ackhoo and wishing the whole team a wonderful Sunday.

Beautiful post Joan! I love the analogy of seasons and the curveballs life throws at us. Your photographs are simply stunning.
PS the Swallows are already back in the one nest here at home, way too early, or not?
Have a great Sunday 🤗
Swallows have been enjoying the skies above regularly, never had a family select my home to come nest.
Sending Sunday wishes with !LUV

Lovely post and shots 🌸
Season we are currently in, many changes/challenges to face, learning to accept much as nature does everywhere, acceptance we cannot fight.

Very nice photos. It is necessary to appreciate nature, whatever it is.
Thanks for compliment and visit, have a brilliant Sunday outdoors if possible.
Change is the only permanent thing on earth they say and whether we like it or not, it happens. It is indeed best to transition gracefully, appreciate, and enjoy each season as they arrive.

Thanks for the token with comments above.
That's good to hear :) Looking back can be nostalgic and fun at the same time, especially with wonderful memories of past seasons in life.
Always fun seeing new, then relating back to previous, people think massive change happens quickly, when it normally is small but continuous.
The second flower is so lovely it could pass as a beautiful bouquet🥰🥰
Succulents very popular this is the Kalanchoe possibly blossfeldiana in flower at the moment, very dainty little flowers.
The season of joy is upon you, my friend. Methinks that secretly, they are all of your seasons, in one way or another. Each one holds a special meaning, something to appreciate, a piece that makes the puzzle more complete.
I think nature loves you as much as you love it.
Beautiful pictures with words of thought. Good morning from here, Joan!
Agree, seasons are like chapters in life's story book, written slowly till the book is concluded.
Giant big clock going around in incremental sections, nature keeps us on time. 🌸
Good morning Denise, rise and shine Monday is here....
I love all your sentiments with those beautiful photos. The seasons are definitely changing and now it is time for a few physical and mental adjustments. All we can do is stay positive and go with the flow of each new day. love and hugs! ♥
Change is good, it is how we adjust or learn to, keeping positive outlook as best as one is able. Sending Monday wishes for a wonderful new week to you.
Much appreciated @ladiesofhive have a wonderful new week.
WOW I love that lilly, will have to see if they do them in the UK, never heard of it before, so probably not
You never know how far and wide people plant from different countries, a bulb that might have been brought over.
you have a good climate for stuff we have wet and cold and occasionally warm.
Our weather pretty consistent mainly sunny and warm, few cold fronts, on average Winter is my time to enjoy the outdoors.
Nice, winter i don't mind the cold, I have spent a lot of my working life outdoors, it is just the wet and the rain I do not like as much
Rain has never troubled me, it is the wind when angry and cruel whipping through that is no fun.
wind doesnt seem a great problem where I live tbh
Lovely photos and thoughts, Joan. So true what Thoreau said about embracing each season “ resign yourself to the influences of each." - Henry David Thoreau.
Always smile thinking back before reaching 21 years, you wish you were all grown up and able to go it alone. Later you reminisce on how we wish we were back again, the absolute freedom living at home with Mom and Dad, now we have to accept it gracefully!
You are so right. The only constant is change. We only find happiness when we embrace that. Thank you for the lovely photos ❤️
Change arrives whether we like it or not, when young always exciting, older with trepidation it's life. Wishing you a wonderful day and thanks for the visit.
That's so true. And we spend so much time and energy fighting it. I think we instinctively don't want to let go. We get comfortable in the familiar. They say, "comfortable" is the most dangerous thing to be. You don't grow when you're comfortable.
Comfort zones are dangerous, just when you think you have a little control, poof it is gone! Happy Thorsday with !LUV
