August Month Of Wind
Wind swept through at full tilt late yesterday well into the night, good reminder seasons change is happening outside much like life becoming silver, flowers, animals all else knows those winds of change as well.
Warm colours inviting birds and bees, also known as the Paintbrush, bulb shows a little breaking ground then gains height reasonably quickly and blooms into profusion of beauty like a teenager among the plants.
White flower with splashes of green a reminder to keep life clean and exciting, more than a hundred species found, harmoniously living in my garden, I think to be the Albuca fastigiata.
When you know you are being watched, Bloukoppie Lizard hanging around in the sun readying himself to take on his true blue head dress to impress the ladies in the next month or two, another 'teenager', true!
Really..., everyone photographed in the garden except me?
Wow you sure are feeling sorry for yourself little buddy, what's up!
Over population drives this troops from garden to garden in constant search of food, they need the 'pill'! Surely something can be done to assist with no predators left in suburbs, except for odd scuffle with dogs or some abusive humans.
Cloud banks shuffling across the sky, a lot quicker than most silvers of late don't they look promising.
Late afternoon the Agave at the beginning of the month reaching for the stars, how often we look up to behold the beauty surrounding us, small insignificant people trying to make our way through peaceably.
Growing up, not turning silver but turning blue, this lizard has his spot and will defend it with all he's got! Even I get a beady eye, leave me alone it's afternoon siesta time!
High winds blowing over my special tree now in flower, will invite many birds to come enjoy the nectar, later in December it will be little black berries to delightfully nibble on.
At the end of day we all go home to roost, now edging toward the end of a month I only write what I see and feel, life is tough on everything, change in weather affects all living things, financial change is hitting mankind after tumultuous years we have been experiencing. Life carries on....
Bats flying overhead, (black streak above), glimmer of hope for tomorrow when the night guard takes over, wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Awesome photography Joan, that wind was howling here as well! It's warming up again, if only it could stay like this, I'm NOT looking forward to summer.
The sunsets have been glorious of this late with all those stunning colours!
Have a great weekend Joan 🤗
When these harsh winds come up the coast they blast through, all one can hope is the tiles remain on the roof !LOLZ
Garden is show change at a quicker pace, birds starting nest building and looking for companions, some chasing happening again. Thanks for visiting and have an amazing weekend.
Hopefully we still have a few cold fronts come through, all the signs are now toward summer, plants tell me so.

Yes, it's such a sudden change, we were shocked when we heard the Swallows so early! I was reading an article about how climate change is affecting the migration of the Swallows, rather alarming. The world is changing at a rapid pace!
Enjoy your Sunday, our youngest son is here for work & already said he's looking forward to the Sunday roast chicken😉
Some Swallows have stopped migrating this far south opting to stay in northern regions, others say some arrive too early, with insufficient food source chicks die. Much concern on movement becoming erratic.
Enjoy that Sunday roast, great to tuck into, company of your son will make it taste better! 😌
Very nice photos😊 The monkey is so cute!
Thanks for visiting and enjoying, little monkey did look forlorn, troops are bigger with younger mothers fumbling around.
that lily , wow I have never seen one like it before, completely different to those that we grow over here. Do you get problems with lily beetles? or does Mr lazy lizard feed on them?
'Lily borer' moth (Brithys crini pancratii) get into the stems and leaves they party throughout the garden. Bulbs underground dormant during winter I do not think much else. Slugs/snails sometimes enjoy the leaves but not as destructive.
your borer could be our beetle, bright red in colour , little bastards!
Ours are black and white/yellow worms wriggling around from plant to plant, destructive hungry little buggers.
nasty, they ruin such lovely and fragrant plants.
Survival of the fit....
Vervet Monkey was so cute and looks like sulking because he was not photographed! 😄
is that a domestic I mean a pet?
Cause it seems he is okay with humans around,
No these monkeys are wild and protected, visit the garden regularly, to a certain degree no fear.
!BEER
Wow, that was nice! I am not sure if monkey are still can be seen in some provinces here in my country.
Thanks for token
We have monkeys in our province, other places in South Africa have baboons which are much bigger not only in size but raiding homes not afraid of humans either.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello dear friend @joanstewart good afternoon
What beautiful photographs you show us in this opportunity, you can breathe a lot of nature
I appreciate that you let us know this natural beauty
enjoy the weekend
Thanks for visiting, enjoying a little of my garden variety, yes life is full of surprises when you get outdoors. Happy Sunday.
Nice photographs!
Lizards and such are so interesting animals... and those beady eyes!!!
Lizard has gorgeous patterns on body, should have bright blue head next month. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, thanks for visiting.
Your photos are just incredible!
Going through them was like having a break from the world at large and being gifted with only the best parts of it for a while. This kind of thing regenerates a worn soul and reignites a sense of wonder.

Regular breaks into the garden is a priority in my book, would never make it through a day if not taking in fresh air outdoors.
Thanks for lovely comment !LUV

Thanks for the luv! ❤️
Short regular breaks from indoors makes life a lot more entertaining.
Hi @joanstewart, you are lucky living in such country that is almost itself is a big natural park, there are so many unique animals and plants and of course warm weather all the time. I even envy you a bit. The pictures are great. I love that little monkey who seems to be very much in his own thoughts, hope he is OK. Beautiful sky :)
Each country has something unique in beauty, looking out and being out the a strong motivator in getting to see life on the move.
