Some lovely colors today.

Times are tough lately, but nothing will get us down, so I will share some beauty with you.
038.jpg

A bit of everything in here to show us that there are also differences in nature. But they are beautiful differences.

Come and walk along with me and have a look through my eyes what we can see in this beautiful place on a wine farm.
Now I am not going to caption the photos as usual, because you and me are looking through my eyes and we can only stare at the varied views.
So then, let's see what we can find here.

The place to be on a nice warm day isn't it?
Many lovely sights of fauna, flora and wildlife that all combines to stroke the soul. Given to all of us just to enjoy and only asking for our appreciation.
A place where one can relax away from the world's troubles and our own issues. Just to amble along in the sounds of nature is a blessing to the mind and the heart.

My greatest fear is that one day all of this might be gone if we don't stop to turn the damages that we are doing to nature around. Yes Mother nature asks for our appreciation, but if we don't care for her then she will simply go away. The thing is that then we will be in big trouble as we rely on her for food and health.
Life is sacred and sadly so many species are becoming extinct due to our mismanagement and destruction, that things will surely reach a point of no return.

We can all do something about it as we can raise our voices about the destruction via the non-profit entities that focus upon the salvage of nature. Anything will help to save this gift to all of us.
Please think about it!

I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.

And That's All Friends.

Some amazing shorts you have here, really refreshing going through them.

That is very true and a true concern. I keep saying that myself but a great many don't care, unfortunately.

Yes, it’s great to focus on the positives around us, nature and all the beautiful little things. That are often overlooked by others.
I understand your thoughts… nature is so fragile and we do need to change things to make it last.
Take care @papilloncharity 😎

Thank you and I choose not to focus on negativity in my life. I love to show the beauty all around us, but at times one has to concentrate on facts and in this instance, we are endangering our lives and our childrens lives if we do not stop destroying nature.

You also take care my friend.

That’s what I do too @papilloncharity 😁 showing the beauty all around us. Think positive.
Like my post from today, hope it makes people think about our world and nature. It can be so beautiful even in the little things.

Thank you so much! Have a great evening.

Lovely images as always, Zac, and you're so very right, we are destroying our only source for food.

I wonder where the squirrel would jump if you scared it from behind 😁

Good afternoon Hannes,

Thank you and I will just continue to show the people the value of nature to all of us.
I have mentioned it again today.

Hahaha, squirrels can swim, but no chance to get near that guy, as he is wide awake and at the slightest move he pops up. I know as I tested him and look what happened.

He swung in an instant and you can still see the rings of his drinking on the water side. So I slid back and he continued drinking 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Hannes,

I only hope that some day some decision makers, or our future children will read my warnings on the blockchain, as I don't think much change in the destruction of nature will take place in our generation.

I would indeed be funny, but what if he can't swim?
Then I will have to get wet in a hurry fetching him 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Good morning Zac,

I'm sorry for being very, very late with my replies, but I have not had any time during the day and then I have been too tired in the evening to turn the computer on.

Maybe they will read it one day and then wish they had read it before 😥

Lol, I can see the news "Man saves squirrel from drowning" 🤣 !LOLZ

Good evening from a cold South Africa Hannes,

Our rain has stopped, but cool at 20C today. If the squirrel would bite me on my nose then it will be easy to close the holes, as I will only put silver studs in it, so I will look like a rock star 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

I can never take my dog to the park because the ducks keep trying to bite him.
I guess that’s what I get for buying a pure bread dog.

Good evening from a rainy Austria Zac,

and I know it's the next evening 😉
I've been too tired yesterday and went out early in the morning today.

Oh yes, although it was raining, we have also had a quite warm day at about 20C - just warm enough for shorts and T-shirt 😀

I wonder how you would blow your nose with all these things in it 😂 !LOLZ

Good evening from a cold Cape province Hannes.

Strange as I was also up at 4am today and I waited for the sunrise that I will post tomorrow.

Hahaha, 20C also here and people are wearing coats and gloves.

I will have to hire a service provided that cleans tunnels 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening from my office Zac,

4am is a great time to get up, especially this time of year when the sun rises so early.

In the mornings we have about 10C and my wife still wears a jacket. A T-shirt is enough for me because a bit later it will be warm anyway 😅

If you find such a service, please tell me because you never know when you might need special services 🤣 !LOLZ

Good evening Hannes,

yes 4am is good, but when one goes to bed at 1 am then it becomes a great problem, as it turns me into a zombie for the rest of the day.

10C is mid winter over here and it's very cold, so your wife is sane. Your mountain goat skin is obviously used to the cold 🤣 !LOLZ

I might have to invent such a service 😉

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

you should work for the government like I do ... although I have more work than a government worker should have (🤣 !LOLZ ) I still have regulated working hours ... more or less 😀

Yep, we have been talking about that theme before 😅

Good evening Hannes,

I would rather buy a bicycle with a cooler box sidecar and sell ice creams on the beach, before I will work in our government here. Good salaries, but hardly ever paid on time and constant competition from others that want my job. Nope, ice cream sales are a much better job methinks 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

well, I would also prefer to sell ice cream on a beach, although working for our government is different, very different. Payment is always on time and no one can get my job until I go somewhere else or retire ... but nobody would want my job anyway 😂 !LOLZ

Good evening Hannes,

nope, not in my book to ever work regulated hours again. Freedom enables me to dream up great projects for the poor and even if I only draw a tenth of your salary, (which I do). it doesn't matter to me.
Your time is getting shorter every day and soon you will be your own boss, then you will see what I mean about freedom to follow your heart ... I for sure wouldn't want your job 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

Good evening Zac,

I know and you're doing great what you're doing. I'm also looking forward to the time when regulated hours or being on time doesn't matter anymore.

I have asked many of my colleagues if they want my job which is much better paid than theirs - I haven't found a single one 😂

Good (next) evening Zac,

I know it will be sooner than expected ... time will run faster than I think but there's no day that I wouldn't think of it.

Oh yes, that sleeping thing is right and there have been many more occasions when I saw a colleague sleeping or kind of sleeping, apart from the stories I have told you already 😂 !LOLZ

I've been at work on Saturday and after a morning walk today I was just too tired to do much 😴

Good next evening Hannes,

I hope that you got some nice photos today, as I looked at the Austrian weather forecast and it was not raining.

Just around the corner now mate and it will be upon you sooner that you think 😉

Hahaha, the sleeping force of Austria, let's just hope that Russia doesn't catch you guys sleeping 🤣 !LOLZ

So, a morning walk makes you tired for the rest of the day. Sounds like you are much older than me my friend 😛

Cheers and thanks.

Good morning Zac,

I'm quickly replying before I start another busy day and week. Today's gonna be quite busy and I don't think I'll have much time tomorrow because I'll be out of the office all day long, but I will try.

The weather was really nice and warm, but not many photos because the sun was already too high and harsh. I have photographed a lovely butterfly and some flowers, but I have edited only one photo of a butterfly.

Russia can come, maybe they are able to wake us up.

Haha, I was tired from a busy week that was followed by a 24-hour shift on Saturday 😂 !LOLZ

Good late afternoon Hannes,

Luckily we missed the 5pm power cut and the next one is 10pm.

You sound like you will have a very busy week and I will also be out more with my camera, as we now are on Level 4, which means that we will get 4 power cuts every day for the rest of this week.
So I will have to dodge in between the power cuts to do my work and also get the posts and replies on Hive done.

Yeah harsh sunlight is not good for photography. I thought you would show me the edited butterfly.
The sun is not good to take butterflies. Here's one that I got yesterday.

Hahaha, nothing will wake you guys up my friend 🤣 !LOLZ

Just watch your health my friend😉

Good morning Zac,

I will try to reply to all comments before I have to leave the office. I will not be here till noon and then I have my next meeting in our headquarter. This is going to be another long and tiring day.

Oh, how I would love to have some power cuts these days. I could work manually and no additional work would be able to come in 😂 !LOLZ

This is a lovely butterfly, my friend, and here is mine:

Good evening Hannes,

I hope that you have survived the long and tiring day.
We have a power cut at 8pm and I don't think that we will escape this one.

Maybe we must exchange governments as then you will have many power cuts 🤣 !LOLZ

That is indeed a great butterfly shot my friend 😊

Hi Hannes, I am sure that you will survive it every time even until you retire. Hopefully you will soon have enough for the van as it will bring you much pleasure 😉

Ha, the power cuts over here are day and night and it all depends on where one lives in the country.
I am sure that you will be able to ask your new government to switch your area off every day 🤣 !LOLZ

Glad for you and it is a great shot.

Cheers and thanks.

Hi Zac,

of course, and today was a really easy day with not much work, but tomorrow will be busy again and I'll have to leave the office to a meeting in our head right when I finish my nightshift.
Good thing is that after the meeting I'll do some work I wanted to do for quite a while - it's just some kind of clean up and nobody can disturb it ... I hope ;)

Soon we will actually have a power cut, bu tit will only be a blackout test and instead of stopping to work we will have to work more just to show everybody how good we are ... or how bad 😂 !LOLZ

Great that will also have some time to do some clean up stuff after the hectic time is over my friend.

Talking about power cuts, we will not escape tonight's power cut which starts at 8 pm. so I don't have time to do a second post and will not be able to do all of the replies.
I am sure that you guys will show everybody how good you are 🤣 !LOLZ

Cheers and thanks.

So now you have got me going and may I perhaps ask what it is that you want to do what you have always wanted? Maybe a deposit on the van 😮

Drat! I pressed the reply before I was finished.

I so wish that I can say that the power cuts are something new to us, as the scary thing is that we are getting used to it. Much colder now and we will have the cuts every day now 😪

Cheers and thanks.

I wanted to clean up some things in a room in my office building where we have thrown all sorts of things in and I want to sort them and throw many of these things away because they are not needed anymore. Maybe I will find some time next week.

I don't think it's good when you get used of the power cuts because if everyone gets used of it they don't need to fix it.

Back on Hannes and you are first like always 😊

Oh man, we have an identical problem as I have 2 stores here that I have been meaning to clean out for the past months. Now that the new move is coming up I will have to do it soon.
I am going to be ruthless this time, close my eyes and throw everything out. Except my tools.😉

Oh no, it will never get to that stage and the sparks are flying at all quarters about the lack of electricity. Maybe it can draw us all together as one nation I hope.

Cheers and thanks.

Good morning Zac,

so let's close our eyes and throw away all things we haven't used in years, because when they are gone we will need them for sure soon 😁 !LOLZ

Sorry for my late reply but I needed yesterday completely off the internet to take photos in the morning and edit some.
I will reply to the rest when I can, maybe in the evening at the latest.

Good evening Hannes,

Yes and that's so funny as we always remember that we had the item sitting around for years, then we dumped it and now all of a sudden we need it. In the meantime the item's price has increased ten fold and we pay a fortune for our mistake 🤣 !LOLZ

That's all okay as we have another power cut now at 6pm and I will only be back on at 9pm.

Wow! That is a great photo my friend and I feel that I am sitting right next to that waterfall.
Beautiful shot.

Thank you that you like it - it's one of my favourite places and I have photographed this waterfall countless times 😊

Good evening Hannes,

It's been awhile and we are still dodging power cuts. I makes sense to dump things that lay around for years and then whenever one needs to do a job, then simply to buy a new one.
I am keeping a basic toolkit for house repairs and the rest must all go. I have also not started yet, as I follow your lead 🤣 !LOLZ

Magical photos and no wonder that it's one of your favorite places 😊

So the sun breaks through the clouds to shine spots on the land.
