This Moment - Soule Mama
A single photo capturing a moment
A simple, special, extraordinary moment
A moment I want to pause, savour and remember
I love watching the birds that dive in and out of my garden.
A few days ago I snapped these little birds doing a bit of bird watching of their own atop my camellia plant and taking in the birds eye view of the scenery.
It's fascinating how they perch and balance on top of thin little twigs. They look so cute.
One is easy to spot, you might have to search a little for the other one!
This is the moment
This is the time
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme
Give me this moment
This momentous moment ...

The thought of one moment in time, captured in a photo is mind expanding. I remember doing that in my memory some years ago when I knew my life was about to change. I can still recall the amazing colors in the sunset and the walk along the beach.
ReplyDeleteHi Francene. It's quite amazing how much one remembers just by looking at a photo.
DeleteBirds truly have amazing capabilities. I wish I could balance like that! Beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Xiomara. Yes, they have something quite unique. I wish I could balance like that too.
Deletewhat kind of bird are those?
ReplyDeleteHi Keetha, I have no idea - first time I've seem one. Will have to find out.
DeleteHow do they sit there and not fall off?
ReplyDeleteHi Retired not tired, my thoughts exactly! lol.
DeleteI love backyard bird watching too! I have an enormous jasmine outside the bedroom door where all the sparrows, finches and chickadees like to roost. It's so cool to watch them all come out, sometimes 20 at a time, jumping down out of the jasmine like paratroopers. Love birds.
ReplyDeleteHi Cairn, birds are just so much fun to watch. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteI would so love to be a bird, flying anywhere:D I didn't see the second bird at first either:)
ReplyDeleteHi Eli, it would be fun to see the world from up above. I was surprised to see it in my pic as I hadn't noticed it when taking the pic.
DeleteBeautiful! I'd love to hear him sing. :) I was just talking about hearing a bird singing this morning while chanting. I've never appreciated them more than I've come to appreciate them over the last couple of years. Birds are great! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica. Me too, I've only started really noticing them since we put up the bird feeder. So glad we did.
DeleteMoments spent watching nature is precious indeed!!
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back Ruby. Yes, nature has a lot to tell us.
DeleteBeautiful picture. We see a lot of birds where I live and I always wonder what they're thinking - they focus and stay still for the longest time.
ReplyDeleteHappy week to you, Suzy! :-)
Thanks Vidya. So true, wonder what they're thinking and looking at. Enjoy your week too Vidya and thanks for visiting.
DeleteFound them both. :)

DeleteI found the two, Suzy. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. Glad you liked it.
DeleteI wouldn't have noticed the second one if you didn't tell me to look for it. They are both lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Unknown Mami - he's quite well camouflaged,
