There were honeybee combs - under the bridge! - to watch. I have never seen them like this, in open space - but there you have it, it's possible!
There were amazing colours to admire! Look at these peppers... or the sun reflection in the pond... or that gorgeous lily fallen into the water!
There were (to the delight of William) frogs to watch... and an almost bloomed lily pad...
There were magnificent trees - and even a gnome under the leaves!
There were the Bird of Paradise, and the cacti, and some other cacti William recognized and he's so happy about... and a place to play with water, of course.
There were HUMMINGBIRDS! Many of them; although the one in the picture is the same one - perched on top of its tree, watching the Black and Blue Sage, to make sure no other hummingbird would come and drink its nectar. I kid you not: they were fighting in mid-air, you could hear their using the long beaks like swords!
There was the child doing what he loves most: talking, studying, being pensive, hiking, climbing and smiling!
There was time for reflection...
... and a quiet hidden invitation for new adventures.
Where does the trail take you?!
Beautiful photos~The hummingbird action shots are fantastic and that honeycomb was quite the find! Your son is so handsome...looks like he thoroughly enjoyed the day :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful moments you captured, Alicia! The photos of William doing what boys do best, so wonderful... Your hummingbird shots are stunning... I know how difficult those skittish little guys are to photograph. Though we have feeders and enjoy their antics all summer, they invariably hide whenever the camera comes out. An yes, they are extremely aggressive and territorial, especially the males!
