TREES ARE THE GUARDIAN ANGELS

Looking at these five different trees together guarding an elderly care home defines me of a divine relationship.

I relate these trees to all the carers who takes care of them. They are truly 'Guardian Angels'.

SUNFLOWER - INSPIRATIONAL DRAWING FROM VINCENT VAN GOGH

Today, I am sharing Sunflower drawing by my younger one, inspired by the Sunflower painting of Vincent Van Gogh.

He re-created the drawing as an art challenge activity. Observe the paintings of the artist and draw them as from your memory without re-looking into the original drawing.

This was an activity for Child's observational and memory skills. He truly accepted and enjoyed this activity.

As a parent and a counsellor, these kinds of activities will enhance the child's memory skills. It improves Observational and Concentration skills.

This is the Original painting .

PENQUIN - A bird of Admiration and Adoration

Penquin - definitely a bird of Admiration and Adoration. 

Who wouldn't love to watch this bird in your near vicinity. 'I wish to see Penquins' would be one among the wish-to-see list of many of us. Yes, definitely, it was in my wish to see list.

A dream come true, watched these penguins in a Birdland park. Again, it was an awestuck moment with cheerful tears rolling down. 

Hurray ! Penquins !!! I saw them and excited to feed them. These words were repeatedly whispered to my hubby as I was standing in the queue to feed them. 

Of course, with tears and racing heartbeats, it was a pleasant pleasure. 

Look how they are sleeping in a standing position, amazing to watch them.

They sleep with their feets raised up. Puzzled to see it - how they could stand steady while sleeping ...God's creation.

WEEPING WILLOW TREE

Green Environment always gives a feel of  happiness and peace. I always a short break in nature trails. 

Today, I am sharing a picture of a Weeping tree for # Treeslove .I

We happened to see this amazing tree in Birdpark, Bourton on Water, UK. It was a memorable sight of  those hanging branches. I learnt about the weeping tree for the first time.

Weeping trees have branches that droop towards the ground. Weeping is generally caused by a mutation that does not grow true from seeds.

Discovering the interesting hidden traits of nature is truly puzzling.

Wordless Wednesday

Awestuck moments - whenever you remember those moments, again we will be awestuck. 

I always have a phobia for birds with every close encounter with them but I love to watch them at a distance. Whenever a chick or pigeon or a parrot sits over me, I have a racing heartbeat, sweats and dizziness. 

I had few negative encounters with Hen, Cocks and Crow during my school days. In a 80 acres of Space, my school had more trees, we used to have our lunch in the open ground along with friends in groups. During lunch break, almost everyday, we encountered with crows around. Once, during a school assembly, a crow fell down dead on my friend, who stood right in front of me. I couldn't imagine that sight even now, it gives more pain. Carrying all these sights, I started stepping away from the birds.

But, as years passed by, growing with more strength and courage everyday, slowly started to watch them again. We visited a Birdland park and happened to get sight of this Owl and Owlet in a very close view. We were awestuck with such amazing creatures.
