We were ecstatic to see this spoonbill - not in my yard, but still, a great view!
Massive Banyan near downtown Stuart - stopped on our way to dinner to get this shot
I challenge you this week to stop...listen...linger a little longer than normal and take a closer look!

Oooh, I love that shot of the Kalanchoe Kim! The mockingbird nest is just darling too!
Beautiful shots! I really love that roseate spoonbill! I've never seen one in the wild (just in zoos), as they are not common inland, but my mother has seen some at a state park where she once worked. Love that banyan tree as well! Oh, if only I had a bigger yard......
I missed all the beauty this week and I'm dang sore about it too. I can say though at least we appreciate that we are missing stuff when we rush by. I really feel for those who just never notice!
Gorgeous photographs, Kimberly!
Taking a closer look is a very good thing to do. Busyness should never take over a life.
How intriguing that your creeping lantana has three different colors!
Spoonbills are so unusual and pretty at the same time. We get them on the ponds and along the river here from time to time.
I know we have a mockingbird nest in one of the huge azalea bushes because I see the mom and dad going in and out, but I can't see the nest. What a good shot of those eggs.
Hi Kimberly,
Your photos show that God is definitely in the details, isn't he? Such beautiful pictures.
Plants do come in many shade of colours. I love the repetitive layers and shades in plants. Even mockingbirds join in the chorus by producing cute dotted eggs.... Sweet,

The mockingbird eggs in the nest are so pretty. It is good to slow down and spend a little more time appreciating things. There are days that I feel like all I do is rush in and out of the car and don't get a chance to just enjoy what's around me.
You have certainly captured beauty from a different angle. I think I want to build a tree house on that magnificient banyan tree.
Nice photos! Kimberly! I love the close up look of the plants, since you often can find more beauties than what you usually would notice. Love the shots of alanchoe and hen and Chicken.
Very pretty, post! I have never seen combination colors on the same lantana plant. I was surprised that my annual lantanas actually survived our freezes. I love the mockingbird's nest, too.
I will have to make the time to slow down and look around properly this week Kimberley - but it such a hectic one! Those little speckled Mocking Bird eggs are just lovely :)
Hello.
Great picture and very beautiful tree at the end.
What a beautiful post :)
If you could train that spoonbill to stand still, he'd make a brilliant drinks coaster! He could follow you from chair to chair, and there'd always be somewhere handy to rest your drink.
Love the banyan. Have you ever seen a Morton Bay Fig? We were in Sydney, Australia in Dec. and they are the most fascinating tree. the trunks are amazing!
