In the last few years i have found myself blessing nature and its creatures more and more. There is a tremendous sense of connection and oneness with the flower, the insect, the bird, the fox, the mouse etc.

I have hayfever and its level of effect varies from year to year. This can give me alot of grief but doesnt stop my need to watch and monitor the wonderous garden, the woodland near my home and the allotment site at work.

At work i encounter the most of nature including alot of wasps and bees. Now these little creatures worry me alittle for they can sting! (ouch) but i must admit that they ignore me and carry on with thier business. I once found a bumble bee trapped in a bucket full of water and i just naturally lifted the little guy out and placed him somewhere safe in the sunlight.

Spiders crawl in all shapes and sizes and they too scare me alittle but should one become stuck, trapped or in trouble - then i move in to save it.

The birds sing beautiful songs and i often place my left over scraps of food in an appropriate place - to share. A black bird with white specks in its feathers often comes at certain times in the day and waits with its head turned so that it pretty eye glances upon me awaiting small pieces of bread. A magpie often visits finding the crust of a pie tempting.

The weather effects the nature kingdom and reveals more little creatures. After rain come the snails and slugs, in sunlight arrive the birds of many shape and colour.

I could go on and on here, sometimes i spend far too long in the garden just connecting with and soaking up all the wonder that is creation.
