It's been glorious these past few days. Much cooler and much drier than this past few months of summer. Ya, only 3 months of summer, I know, but living in the sub-tropics it seems like an eternity of heat and humidity. I'm glad to say...it is much improved. I can breathe, I can walk without sweating the minute I step outside. I thought I'd share some of the beauty that surrounded me the last few weeks.
One day, the sun peeking through the clouds as I walked the trail...
I search for anything that has hearts. I was going to save this photo for my birding blog, but since it also has a heart shape in the image, I'd share it with both of my blogs. Do you see it* in the image below? This is a photo of an Inca Dove perched in a tree near a drip fountain in a park about a 20 minute drive from Corpus.
*hint: look top left corner
Awwww... the squirrel made me "Awwwwwwwww!!!!" out loud, Anni! ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable, aren't they?
DeleteAt first I thought the heart was the wing because it does look like half a heart, then I spotted that little tiny heart in the corner.
ReplyDeleteYep...in the corner
DeleteWhat gorgeous photos! Love the dove.
ReplyDeleteThe Inca Dove is my favorite of all the doves here in Texas...they're so pretty with the 'scaly' look and the underside of the wings is bronze.
DeleteWonderful shots, especially the sunshining in the clouds. Love the sweet dove as well!
ReplyDeleteI've said previously, that is my favorite dove.
DeleteWonderful pictures, and I saw the heart right away. I love your cloud shots especially. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was gorgeous to watch the sky that morning.
DeleteI must be getting better. I spotted the heart right away. The peaking sun shots were wonderful.
ReplyDeletePretty sky that time.
Deletethat sky is breath taking! love the little devil, I mean squirrel. we call them the little devils. as in there goes the little devil on the roof, or knocking down fruit.. i saw the heart right away also, a tiny leaf...
ReplyDeleteThey ARE entertaining!!!
Deletewe had a two day break in heat/humidty as we are well into 7 months of the hoteest summer i ever rembmeber . we woke to 80 with high humidty this morning, and no relief in sight until Delta makes up her mind, I hope she misses you...
ReplyDeleteIt was 70 here this morning, a cool breeze blowing.
DeleteGorgeous photos Anni!!!
ReplyDeleteIn your Inca Dove photo I see a heart between the dove's eye and his beak, too ❤
Other than the leaf at the top left? I will have to view it when I can expand it.

DeleteHappy to hear your weather has improved. Ours has gotten cooler too and makes for lovely walking weather. Thank you for sharing the beauty around you Anni, loved each and every photo :)
ReplyDeleteLong awaited cool-down. Thanks Denise.
DeleteThanks for the hint..I couldn't find it...Fantastic eye.
ReplyDeleteThat Dove is so, so beautiful. I'm glad you captured it in such a peaceful pose.
Things are cooling down here too..and I'm so glad. At least the AC isn't cranking all the time. My wallet is happier.

Forgot to say how much I loved the sunrise photos. The rays peeking through the clouds are so beautiful.
DeleteSue
A.c. is costly for sure!
DeletePs...the sky beauty was exceptional that day.
DeleteI did spot the sweet little heart! My favorites are the squirrel and the sun rays. Beautiful post today!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny
DeleteBeautiful photos. Sky is gorgeous, the sun shining through a hole in the cloud!
ReplyDeleteTook me a while but yes, I did spot the little heart up in the corner.
I was amazed how tiny it was.
DeleteThose cloud shots are awesome! they are my favourites, but the other pictures are good too.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it was breathtaking.
DeleteThose cloud pictures are amazing, but then so are your others :)
ReplyDeleteA fabulous post, and I spotted the heart shape (thanks for the clue).
All the best Jan
Glad you found the heart! Thanks.
DeleteI really like all your photos. The butterfly is wonderful. I am sad that they all seem to be gone from Indiana now. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteThey are arriving here, now.
DeleteI would have missed the heart, so thanks for pointing it out. I think it's agreat idea to look for them. And those clouds are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI like to find them in unsuspecting places.
DeleteI saw the heart with your hint!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos today.
Thanks for identifying the heron for me.
No problem...glad I could help. Thanks Mari.

ReplyDeleteCheers
Thanks so much.
DeleteBeautiful pictures, especially the sun playing with the clouds!
ReplyDeleteThe little Halloween cat is very sweet!
Thanks Ella. Again, welcome back to blogging.
DeleteVery pretty photos. Nature is a beautiful subject, isn't it?
ReplyDelete...certainly is!
DeleteFound the heart though I'm not sure I'd have managed without your hint. Beautiful photos of the sky but my favorite is the butterfly. Hope you are having a great week!
ReplyDeleteA perfect week...hipe yours has been a good one too!
DeleteThanks for the hint about the heart. I would have missed it as I was focused on the dove! LOL. The sun peeking through the clouds was awesome, and so was the butterfly. All was lovely, and I appreciate your pictures so much. Glad your weather is better, but I hope that new storm steers way clear of you. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteIs it that tiny leaf?
