At times it feels like I am dreaming.

So great to go out and to allow one's emotions to be pacified. Only nature can do this for me.

Poetry in motion is a good way to describe the natural art in the scenes.

So amazing to watch the constant changes in the scenes, as nature uses the elements and the winds to paint the beautiful sights. Talking about emotions, we recently had a moving experience, as a tree that we adopted to honor our little friend that passed away was eventually planted. So, we were invited to go and see the tree and it was a situation of tears and happiness. I have shown you the post HERE
So, you might understand that I was a bit raw inside when I took these photos.
Come and see.

The sun joined the party for a short while and it turned up some magical colors. We have had daily rains here for the past two weeks and today was no exception, so we could only come out for a short while. Thankfully it was a good experience.

Talking about rain, you can see below that the clouds started to darken at a rapid pace. I loved to see the sun ray piercing the clouds to show up the palm tree in its beauty.

I so wish that I could paint this picture below, but someone has hi-jacked my painting talents and sold them to some famous artist many years ago :)

And so, the time arrived for us to go, as the power cut was over, and we had work to do before the next power cut arrived.

The cold has also arrived, and we are busy packing food parcels that we will take to hand out to the poor people that live in the streets. Always a dicey affair as some of them go and sell the parcels to get money for alcohol, but we cannot keep an eye on them. So, we console ourselves with the thought that we give from our hearts, and what they do with it is between them and God. As in life, there will always be abusers, but that will not stop us from doing at Papillon what we do, because if even one was helped, then our giving was worth it.
Just our way of looking at life.

I hope that you enjoyed the story and the pictures.

And That's All Friends.

Hang up some curtains? People only hang up curtains when they have moved into a new place, so I am jealous, as it sounds that you have travelled again Jackie 😊
Happy new week.

Hahaha you know I had to move again…
I am now 4 weeks in this rental. There were curtains from the landlord, but they didn’t stop the sun ☀️ and here the sunrise is early… like in 5:04am early and it woke me up every day.
I had yesterday time to search curtains in the boxes we haven’t unpacked yet, found them and layered them over the landlords curtains.
It helped a bit… woke up at 7:44 but fell asleep again. 🤓
Thank you kindly Zac 👋🏻😊 happy new week!

Yes, I do but just ragging you a bit.
I can remember a time that our curtains didn't fit in the new house, and we used blankets as curtains for a day. We went out to get the new curtains and when we returned there was a message on the door complaining about the blankets !LOL
Great that your curtains helped a little bit.

Oh I know those times. Our curtains don’t fit here, some I made a knot 🪢 in the bottom hahaha 🤣
This is temporary so don’t want to spend much on it as I know we will move again 🤓

Really, complaining about the blankets wow.
Thanks a lot Zac
Have a great evening 👋🏻😊

Electricity was back after 23 hours and now we are waiting for the new storms that are on their way.
Only 1 dry day in the coming week and masses of water will create much more damages.
Such is life!

And again, I'm taken with your story and the pictures that come with it. May I ask permission to use that beautiful landscape as a wallpaper for my phone? It won't exceed that. I just love how much the pictures speak to me and yes, nature consoles. It speaks to me even when it seems like isn't present. And the fact that my future holds sights like these just gives me peace. ❤️❤️

Thank you and yes, you are welcome to use it as a screensaver. All human beings have a part of nature within them and nature talks to those parts whenever it appears in picture form.
Glad that they gave you a sence of peace.

Hopefully you will eventually only remember the joy that Troy brought, without the tears

Always a dicey affair as some of them go and sell the parcels to get money for alcohol

True, but they don't sell everything. No matter how much they might like drinking, eventually they have to eat

Oh yes, and it was amazing how that tree helped us to accept closure.

True, they will keep one item and sell the rest !LOL
