Crabbing Around Week Leading Into Freedom Weekend

Venus giving direction into the weekend dancing end of daylight, soon the moon will be up dazzling all below, a week of many small events leading into reflections of a sublime and beautiful time of the year our Autumn.

This weekend throughout the ages has all boiled down to the freedom of each no matter which doctrine is followed.

In essence we should all greet saying enjoy your freedom and take good care of it, never let others poach it!

Quietly getting along with daily life, enjoying many butterflies dancing around the garden with Chickweed (Stellaria media) in flower with some Narrowleaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata),

IMG_3376.JPG

Butterflies from 1 cm to 5 cm in size I did not name them this time the weeds/flowers are of importance here. So many butterflies doing dizzy dance protecting their territory, totally amazing to watch.

I don't mow the lawns with no rain in sight, this simply kills off the beauty and delight of seeing the bees, butterflies even ants enjoying the weed infested lawns.

IMG_3292.JPG

In the past I waged war on weeds then during lockdowns realized this is totally unnecessary, now after flowering I will consider removing a few before the rains arrive once again and allow the lawn to thrive.

With warm sunlight for more than eight hours per day the butterflies have sufficient time to warm up to pollinating enjoying the Chickweed in particular with flowers that close late afternoons.

Enjoying my garden this land crab found it's way into a moss filled corner on cement in a damp little spot where Woody found him. Now we don't see these crabs as often as we once did yet here we are, a sizable guy visiting.

Natal river crab - (Potamonautes sidneyi)
''Potamonautes sidneyi'' is a species of freshwater crab in the Potamonautidae family. The common name is the Natal river crab or Sidney's river crab, although they may also be referred to as "river crabs", "fresh water crabs" or "land crabs". Source

With the low growing ferns and bush around the garden I would imagine there is plenty of food to enjoy, one never stops long enough to consider why they come wandering so far from rivers their natural source living conditions.

Lucia Widow (Palpopleura lucia) a dragonfly that enjoys our sub-tropical climate to witness the brilliant colour is something that holds you spellbound, well hanging onto the lens trying to get the best angle with sunlight beating down, you want to capture the iridescence beauty on wings, body is more a turquoise blue, bright sun did not help here....

Well there is plenty more around the garden, life never stands still waiting for us in nature, this is the week filled with sublime beauty leading up to Freedom Weekend which I hope everyone has enjoyed.

On that note, I love and leave my Hive friends, enjoying our Autumn once again from Durban....

Interesting how our seasons are reversed and the other side of the moon is showing to you. You are in autumn and here it is spring.

Nice seeing the beautiful butterflies and the crabby visitor. 🦀 😃

Only had two nights when we were able to see the moon, lots of cloud no rain. Autumn is slowly arriving bringing cooler days which are delightful.

Butterflies have been in full flight giving me plenty to watch when outdoors, some are so small one really has to zoom in to see their beauty.

Crab was a pleasant surprise not having seen one in the garden for many years.

!LUV have a great day Jo.

Why not try growing the chickweed as a lawn? It looks like it's doing well, and it's definitely nice to walk on :) ...

Been considering letting the chickweed take over, always green with little flowers, lawns turn brown in winter.

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful Sunday.

Chickweed is beautiful, and I don't think you need to water it too much :) ...

Those are the really wonderful part of the nature. You have found some beautiful nature view

Garden has been exceptionally busy with butterflies especially up to twenty or more across the small space, fierce interaction between them for space.

Well there is plenty more around the garden, life never stands still waiting for us in nature, this is the week filled with sublime beauty leading up to Freedom Weekend which I hope everyone has enjoyed.

What beautiful words, Mrs. @joanstewart, invite us to relearn and re-edit hope to continue boosting, creating, and re-signifying our lives, loving, feeling, and being coherent between what we do and what we do.

Infinite gratitude to Mother Nature for recalibrating our meaning of life, and thanks to you for reminding me of this beautiful post of peace, love, life, and hope.

Hugs to you this Easter time ❤️🐇🤗

Nature always catches one off guard with a display, each unique teaching lessons.

Thanks for visiting and enjoy your Easter as well.

That crab is gorgeous, and the moon light looks spectacular

Crabs used to be more frequent they have lovely features, stayed in the same area during the day must have moved off under the moonlight later !LOLZ

Lawns can be so very beautiful if we let them! I suppose the bees might make walking barefoot inadvisable at some times, but all the tiny flowers really make me happy. Your learning this during a stressful time shows how opportunity shows itself even when everything seems to be falling apart.

Outdoors often during the day noticing changes, what I miss the dog will see.

Walking barefoot at the moment with all the bees could be entertaining, never thought about it since bees normally move, as do the butterflies when getting close to them.

What a beautiful nature surrounds you

I love the crab. 🦀🦀🦀

!PIZZA

Crab was a nice surprise, size indication against the red housing brick, it had backed up into the corner with the dog finding it. Fortunately Woody barks at everything that moves never attacks or bites.

How are you dear friend @joanstewart good morning
How much life there is in your garden, and what a nice way you have to enjoy them. Beautiful photographs, I appreciate you introducing us
Have a beautiful Easter Sunday

Good afternoon @jlufer so good to wish you on Easter Sunday, thoughts to better health.

Appreciate your visit and kind words always, have a lovely day.

You shot the moon very nicely.

When the clouds cleared I shot outdoors to capture a few on the 6th around 22h00.

Great pics and the crab came as a pleasant surprise, just as long as the pup does not get a wee pinch on his nose 🤣

!LUV

He was warned, luckily he does not attack!

Most unusual visitors he barks warning about "different" being in the yard, NINNY psst..., he is scared of the dark as well!

he is scared of the dark as well!

hahaha now I nearly spilt my coffee reading that part 🤣🤣🤣
