Of mist, butterflies, birds, bees and such.

Spring season has arrived and this is so strange, as our spring normally only arrives in September. The ground was saturated by the winter rains and now the new sharp early morning spring sun was evaporating the water from the earth's crust below the mountains, creating a mist that covered the lower parts of the mountain.

The first 4 photos will show you the mist and then I have some lovely photos of nature's residents for you.

In fact, it is 3 pictures taken at a vineyard and 1 photo taken at a pear orchard. You will see that the grape vines have not started to grow leaves yet, but that will happen in a week or two. Then after the misty pictures, you will see some beauties that live in nature.
So, without any further ado, let's have a look.

The mountain also performs its part in generating the mist, as the sun heats the rocks, and they basically cook the water on the surfaces of the ground below the mountain. This will continue for a few days, until all of the surface water in the ground has evaporated.
This was the view above the pear orchard.

Now for the residents in nature. 4 photos below.

I think the one at the top was trying to land above the one at the bottom, but the landing was a flop.

And of course, I continue to monitor the Malachite sunbird nest.

Finally, the scenes became a bit clearer as the day went on, but we couldn't stay, as duty called.

Wonderful sights indeed, and nature teaches us so much about the way of life. I like to compare the lessons that we learn, to our own lives as at times we also have to face misty problems. I don't know about you, but I have had a few problems that seemed insurmountable and worrisome, only for them to simply disappear as if they had never been. Has this every happened to you? You go to bed at night in a worry, and in the morning, there is nothing. Problem gone like mist before the sun.
Life has a way of working itself out at times, and all we have to do is to learn how to wait.

I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.

And That's All Friends.
