Of petals, buzzards and toads! A few personal highlights from April 2024, captured in tiny wee snapshots.
This is my latest monthly selection of snapshots of things that caught my eye over these past few weeks, comprising the month of April 2024 (but starting with an image from the closing days of March, picking up from the day I published my previous monthly snapshot selection).
Saturday 30 March 2024: A buzzard a-buzzing
A buzzard circling over the forest near my house.
Monday 1 April 2024: Floral sunrise
Spring has at many points thought about maybe getting into gear this past month… it certainly seemed to be making all the right moves when the first day of April 2024 dawned.
Saturday 6 April 2024: For the rest of your life
Fighting to overcome self-doubt is a lifelong task. But working to overcome self-doubt can and will unlock the world you want to live in for the rest of your life.
Monday 8 April 2024: Petals
Petals perhaps past their prime, yet still perfectly pleasing.
Saturday 13 April 2024: This is your life now
Sometimes it is good to take a clear-eyed look at where you find yourself in life. How do you feel when you think about where your life is now, in this moment? These words are from my blog post entitled This is your life now.
Monday 15 April 2024: After the storm
The above picture depicts a close-up detail of the immediate aftermath (glimpsed through glass) of what must have been the single loudest, most apocalyptic hailstorm I have ever experienced.
Tuesday 16 April 2024: Miss Meg
It was so lovely to have the privilege to dog-sit for Meg this past month – and here she is, looking relaxed and distinctly dignified.
Monday 22 April 2024: Mr Toad
A toad spotted sunbathing in my garden on this particular morning …and either befriending or perhaps considering dining upon a local slug?
Thursday 25 April 2024: Teeny fox
Wee fox cub making its way through my garden of an early evening.
