Kissed by the Sun

Thanks Kharla. Shortly afterwards, the trees turned green again. lol

@kobesbuddy We cut so many down near the house for sunlight. I don’t know if you saw my last post of my backyard.

@DianneN There are so many trees around our property, we don't get very much sunshine.

I didn’t have my clothes on when I opened the window to take the photo.

@DianneN it was very hot here, but I have shade trees and a breezeway that I can take shelter under. My parents yard is three acres and it was in need of some tender loving care. My daddy kept a beautiful place. He had such a green thumb. Sadly the yard and home were somewhat neglected after my parents declined. Taking care of them became top priority. We did the basics , but most things could only get a lick and a promise. It’s giving me great satisfaction to make the place sparkle and shine again. I want to get the pool going next summer.

@Tampa_girl7 I'm sure you have had your work cut out for you. That's a lot of yard. Your dad must be smiling down from heaven at you.

I'm so happy you also go outside to enjoy Mother Nature. It was lovely weather and not too hot for me.

Nature will always be here. It's sad because we can not go out to enjoy it. This was taken from my bathroom window inside my house from the upper story.

@DianneN maybe we can enjoy the nature that is near to our place. But no more with the mountain resort and forest reserve.

@Alexandoy That’s what we are doing - enjoying nature in our yard and street. I’m good with it knowing we’re safe.

It is when you have your camera handy. lol

Thanks. I’m stuck here, so may as well enjoy it while I can.

@Spontaneo Aww, thanks.

@DianneN You are very blessed.

@DianneN Indeed when you are there everyday sometimes you take them for granted until by some accident you happen to appreciate those.

@rsa101 You are absolutely correct!

I was lucky to notice it then.

@DianneN You will probably start seeing them pop up in a few weeks.

@snowy22315

Our goldenrod are growing, but we will have a long wait.

@DianneN same to you and Irv. It has got to get better soon!!

@BelleStarr

He sure did! Happy and healthy August to you and Al.

Thanks, Jeff. For once I had my camera/phone with me.

@DianneN You don't take your phone with you when you go outside? I never leave home without my phone, even if I'm just going outside for a few minutes. You know, just in case I fall and can't get up.

@moffittjc I can't imagine you falling and not being able to get up! Not yet! You sound like my sons. We have a landline, so my phone isn't attached to my hip. However, Carol told me to carry it with me when I go outside, so I listen to her.

She sure is! I'm going to keep my camera handy from now on. I usually miss so many good shots.

@nela13 I agree. This happened to catch my eye and I thought is was so unusual and pretty.

@DianneN Sometimes we only realise how beautiful is in the pictures we take.

Thanks! Believe it or not, but the green is part of the trees themselves. I took that photo from our second story of our house.

@mynameiskate

@DianneN Oh right. Why didn't I see that right off. I think the gold had me mesmerized. Like bubbles with rainbow colors.

If I take a selfie while being sun kissed, all my wrinkles show up.

@sophie09 I doubt it! You are so young!

@DianneN i take selfie when im on my makeup if not yes mine will show up too haha

Thanks! Yellow is a sunny color!

@Miracle_Maya Yes, thanks, that is a lovely sight to see.

@DianneN Yes and you're so lucky that you can watch the trees change their colors every year which I miss here in India, where I live. It's a spectacular sight indeed!

@DianneN Palms with a particular Osprey in one of 'em .

Thanks! I was upstairs when I took the photo. There are taller trees around the house. However, I wish they were Royal palms. The virus better keep away from my trees!

@much2say

@DianneN we want that photo! Strike strike strike

I have been kissed by the sun, too, from working in the garden.

@SHOHANA

@DianneN thanks. It looked better with the eye than via the camera.

@MarshaMusselman It always does.

I can see it! Nice shot!

@JudyEv

Thank you! Did I miss your birthday? If so, and if not, Happy Birthday! I've already had a morning shower.

@DianneN Thanks for the good wishes.

It sure is and thanks!

@DianneN

@DocAndersen

Thanks, Scott. I lucked out by having my camera with me for a change.

@DianneN i can honestly say i do the same thing, lucky sometimes!
