Sunday Post: Nature

Jo Bryant, ,

I have spent some time out on the harbour lately and it has renewed my fascination for birds.

How they behave towards each other.

As they find freedom in the air – I find it in their being.

Isn’t that what nature is ???

The desire to fly free and true to yourself.

The search for more than just a place to land,

and rest,

a place to feel sure to launch yourself from,

to know will await your return,

to share with others of a similar spirit,

to observe the difference of life,

and to know you’re safe,

when you fly in to dark skies…

***

Their nature nurtures mine…

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

  1. Lovely observations. Birds have always fascinated me. I love how our worlds intersect and yet most of the time we are quite oblivious to each other as if we live on different planes of existence.

  17. Hi, I saw your message. I have checked out my comment settings again and I don’t understand why your comments aren’t coming through. They did at the beginning. It’s a mystery. They aren’t in my spam box.
    Loved your “birds and words” post.

      1. I’ve left some requests for help with Blogger Help and I’ve noticed other people complaining they cannot disable the word verification on comments either. I hope this problem gets solved soon.

        1. I have found that I cannot comment on anyone’s blog if they are with blogger…it just starts all over again with a blank box every-time I hit submit…thought it was just me but maybe it isn’t ???

    1. Thank you. I agree with you about the feeling when you see them – especially as you said – close to the sea. I watched them for hours with such a sense of everything.
