MY WORLD ... has temporarily shrunk

Being mainly stuck in bed on home detention is not so bad when
you have a trusty camera for bedfellow.



Thoughtful friends send flowers, fragrant cups of early morning
tea appear up the hill in fog and rain by courtesy of loving daughter
pointing out the window .....

at someone watching us ..... there were at least three of them



as well as the intently grazing sheep ...



The camera levitated and headed in to the car-port hoping for
more and came up trumps.



Circumnavigating the cars, she let me get quite close



before discretion seemed the better part of valour



just two hops and another stop to look, probably wishing she
had a camera too ...



and so, past the driveway gate and a final look in farewell.



The world is full of interest if only we look with the heart.

The pics are so much nicer when enlarged.

Thanks to the MY WORLD team for the chance of once more
posting on this meme.

  4. This is from your window? OMG! I will stay in bed and just draw in the comfort of pillows while I break my attention with a gaze outside the window sometimes. Still, I know what you mean. One cannot hold an eagle captive. Take care my beloved Arija, get well soon. Tsup!

  12. "The world is full of interest if only we look with the heart."

    Arija, I couldn't agree more, and while I was looking at your "shrunken" world, I marveled: Only you could have captured so much beauty, with your eye and heart that knows and wants to see all there is. I am in awe, many a wildlife photographer would wish to frame what s/he sees with your skills.

    May you feel stronger every day and be surrounded by love always,
    Merisi

  13. I hope you are getting better every day. meanwhile, I am glad you can still have the computer to keep you entertained. My Sis in law was hospitalised recently, she found it too tired to read from the lap top.

  18. Great post! Although we certainly have wild animals around here (a black bear ran through our yard once), we're not likely to see anything like this! I hope you get better soon.

    blessings,

  20. You are so right Arija about taking the time to see the world right in front of us. Your pictures are wonderful and your commentary candid! Hope you recover quickly so you can get out and enjoy more of our world.
    Blessings and smiles to you and yours.

  21. Hi Arija,

    I am happy to see some of Natures friends out to visit you.. The sweet little faces remind me so much of the Whitetail deer we see in our forests in Eastern Canada...

    I hope you are feeling better... so nice to see you back!!!

    Please take a moment and enjoy the photos of the little girl who came to visit by our kitchen window, in Vancouver Canada today. I posted the photos on my blog soozeeques.blogspot.com

    I'm so glad you are feeling better Arija.

  24. I love the kangaroo shots, especially the last with the farewell look. I had a Snowshoe Hare in my yard today, and they somehow look a little like the kangaroo.

  27. I am amazed at your kangaroos outside your window just as you must be by my hummingbirds and Gambel's quail! Your blog is my window on your world and vice versa I am sure. So glad you are home again and able to show your world to all of us once again. I'm glad the 'roo came by to say "hi" and make you smile! It made me smile too! (But you make me smile more!)
