Sunday Serenity... simple garden Treasures

Geraniums and Pigeons ... Treasures???
Definitely.
Have a look below and see what I mean :

Crisp white, with just a whisper of  pink


Gentle pink



Rosebud-like 



A baby Bronzewing Pigeon hiding under our Lilly-Pilly



Can't you just feel its little heart beating rapidly
(I kept a good distance away)




Beautiful Mumma Bronzewing - just a few human paces away from baby, keeping watch



The absolute shimmering beauty of her colours

  3. Beautiful flowers adorned with droplets and the pigeon is a beauty with its shimmering wing tips. The baby knew mum was close by. Fabulously crisp shots. What camera are you using?

  4. I love your bird shots ... I spent a hopeless half hour trying to photograph bird this afternoon. All the shot were blurred but I did enjoy the time in the garden.

    1. Oh yes, time in the garden is always to be enjoyed. It can be so frustrating trying to photograph birds... they're such busy little creatures mostly aren't they!

  7. Oh Susan! This is so refreshing...just what I needed this evening. Your mumma pigeon is beautiful! I've never seen such colors on a bird before, you get the best birds! But the 'crisp, white geranium' tops it all. I'm fond of white flowers, but, I don't think I've ever seen a white geranium...I'm gonna have to scout around for one!

    This is a wonderful post. I'm so glad to see you today! Hope you and MD are doing well. Hugs, see you soon!♥

    1. How nice, thank you Suzanne. Yes, I remember your love of white flowers.
      If I lived nearby, you'd have tons of cuttings by now !

      We are both doing really well, thanks ... we just polished off some chocolate last night (shopping day treats), so we're extra well :D)

      p.s. I call everything that looks similar to those 'geraniums' ... perhaps they're pelargoniums?

    2. Your geraniums are certainly beautiful, and, I will have to lookd for some of the rosebud ones. And, myself, I've had too much chocolate lately (of course, with coffee!)
