Various beauties today.

At first the Painted Lady butterfly, but there are also other beautiful views here to see.

We took a short trip to the highest suburb on the mountain and you will see some various shots here of the drive. We certainly live in an amazing area that has many beautiful sights and animals. Today the wind is down and the weak winter sun is bearable.
Come and see.

She had enough of me and my camera and she decided to go somewhere else.

This is one of the tree lined roads that leads up to the mountain.
I think that the trees are called London Plane trees.

I don't know what this tree is called, but it has a a lovely shape. Maybe in the Fir tree family.

This was our view of the mountain range towards the south.

Finally this ocean view that we could see in the distance towards the west.

So what? you might say, but my own opinion is that if a person cannot appreciate the beauty all around them, then they are in a bit of trouble.
We live in a short-cut world where everything is expected to be done instantly, but yet every one of the views in this post tell a different story.
Slow down, take your time and enjoy life.
Simple, but true.

And That's All Friends!

Note: All photos are my own and taken with a Canon Powershot SX60HS Bridge camera.

We hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.

Thank you kindly for supporting a post by @papilloncharity

Yep, it's time to look for butterflies here too - I have already seen some but the most colorful ones are still caterpillars, I believe ;)
This tree looks amazing - I haven't seen anything similar before.


!PIZZA and !BEER - sounds like a nice dinner :)

Oh yeah, but your now in Spring and they should start to appear. The strange thing is that we are now in winter and the butterflies are not supposed to be around.

So you like the worms more than the adult butterflies? A strange goat that you are 🤣

I also loved the conical shape of that tree and it looks like it could be something from Japan or some other Asian country?

Cheers and thanks.

Yeah, I have seen a few small ones, but I also haven't been searching for them yet - we have had a lot of rainy days and I'm sure they will arrive when it gets dryer.
Oh, the worms or caterpillars can look beautiful too, and some are really nice and fluffy :)

I will look on Google at your species of butterflies and I think that they will be different from ours.
We have 4 species of birds that live here and they also love caterpillars and worms.
Thank goodness Harry and Sally are vegetarians, otherwise we would have no butterflies 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

As much as I have seen your butterflies are more colorful and bigger, of course, but there are quite a few very nice ones here too. Of course, I don't know their names though, and most I know only from photos.
Don't vegetarians eat everything that's green? Many caterpillars are green ;)

I haven't had a chance to look yet, but I am sure that you guys also have lovely butterflies my friend.

Now so as goats don't eat butterflies, just so the vegetarian geese don't eat green worms, or any other color of meat 🤣
However some ducks eat snails 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

Goats eat anything, my friend - they eat cigarettes, drink beer and have a green caterpillar for dessert 😂

Okay, now we have the beer and the pizza for desert and they have to develop a cigarrette token for you. Oh and also a caterpillar token, as it would suit your mountain goat status 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

Eish, but you like to brag with your riches mate. 4 tokens on hand is a small fortune 🤣

Best that I can do is maybe 2.

Some !LUV for Lulu and some !BEER for you. Let's see if it will work.
Oh! And something for both of you, !ENGAGE25

Very true...

Slow down, take your time and enjoy life.

Stopping off to see nature during changing moods is never the same, from mountains to sea and everything in between has beauty, not so?

Exactly right Lady Joan and in between the two lies the daily struggles and strife.
SAPS has invited me to a big community do in a town today at 10:30am and I thought that they wanted me to talk about charity projects, but no, I have to do a sermon on encouragement. Let's see how it goes.

As you know, I would rather be in the beauty of nature, but such is life.

Hope that your day will be good.

Ah yes, the sermon title was conquerers and they loved it, but they had a surprise in stock for us and a Raven gave me a message earlier before we went there that a surprise was waiting for us.

A very wet day here and tomorrow and I hope that the water will also travel your way.

Cheers !BEER AND !LUV to all.

I will do the Raven's message in the next hour or two Lady Joan. The cold has arrived and we are still wet here, but thankfully the sun is starting to break out now.
Hope that some water will reach you guys.

Cheers and !LUV
