The flowers without their regular visitors!








I walked in the garden in the hope of finding honey bees and butterflies. I found none. Since the incessant rain for three days, the flowers have not had their regular visitors for nectar. The flowers look adorable when the bees come to feed on them because, it demonstrates the giving and receiving rhythm in nature.  




The sights above of the butterflies make the garden alive with colours and movements!


The still look of the tree pie perched in an unusual place away from the foliage of the trees conveyed the mood of the birds. 

A garden has different stories to tell each day depending on how the honey bees, butterflies, birds, and squirrels move about naturally to give a feel of the spirit of shared experiences in the garden!

The spill over of the cyclonic rain in Chennai and Pondicherry in the last thee days had its remote effects in a village where we stay. 

The birds who normally visit our feeding station during the day were missing for the last three days. 


A squirrel was the only visitor!

A garden looking still and waiting for its visitors!

A garden is for others and is not for itself!

The authoritarian president of the South Korea imposed martial law to stay in power as he felt threatened to loose power over his declining popularity. He had to withdraw his order on account of the resistance. How unfortunate it is that many consider life to possess and acquire!

A garden gives the message of giving!

A group of school going children is currently involved to gather gifts for children during this Christmas season, to share with children who suffered great loss of their home, loved ones, and neighbourhood during the recent landslide in Wayanad in north Kerala! 

What is childhood unless they can be mindful of others who have been denied of the provisions of life!

We live reduced lives when others around us get marginalised from our consciousness!
