7 Days of Nature on Facebook, a compilation.
This post was inspired by my husband Mark who nominated me to post photos of nature for 7 days on Facebook. I loved doing it so much and got such a nice response that I decided to put them all together here in a blog post.
The reason I loved it so much was that each photo was not just a picture of a landscape or a flower but also a memory of family time and days out together. Each photo that I posted was a little sliver of time captured and it made me happy to see the lovely places we have been and beautiful things that surround us.
So without further ado here is my Day 1 photo:
It was taken in 2014 on our annual Donegal holiday. We have been visiting my friend Sue for so many years and I never get tired of the incredible landscape. This was on a beautiful day on our way to Magheragh Beach (I think!) The sky was incredible and the greens and blues were stunning.
This is my day 3 picture and it's a more dainty close up from my own garden. I love to see ladybirds in the garden, not only are they beautiful with their cheery red colour, they are also great predators for garden pests. I try to keep my garden pesticide and chemical free so it's always a joy to see it teeming with insect life.
This is the daintiest little viola taken on our lovely trip to Glasgow earlier this year. I was delighted that the Glasgow Botanic Gardens were so near our Hotel. I've always been fascinated by tiny little flowers, they can be incredibly hardy and have such detail of pattern and colour and this violet is such a cheery little thing with a lovely soft colour.

ReplyDeleteYour photos are stunning - I love the light in so many of them! The beach with all the stones has a really oddly calming feel to it, and I love the moss on the stones, it's beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI will admit, I'm not a huge fan of the outdoors. Grass makes me itch and bugs gross me out. However, these photos you've shared are stunning and for the time being I'm really wanting to go outside and look at all the details of nature I usually rush past.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing!
