Bird

On my way home from work today; at first, I saw two birds and latter another one and they became three. I watched them closely trying to know what they were up to on the the street. I finally found out that they were looking for something to eat. One out of the three found a food and the rest were wandering about.

Sunset

The earth is a beautiful place to live when you see the wonderfully created things by God. Sunset is the fading away of the sun beneath the sphere which is the result of the Earth's rotation.

Fish Night

when I was in the continent of Africa, I have always loved to eat fish because it's easy, cheaper and available in every market. My favorite is cat fish which I eat as many as I can.

"Fish is very good for you because it will expand you and make you grow healthy." My mum tells me this anytime she cooks fish soup and I am with her in the kitchen.
Fish contain essential nutrients and a high quality protein. A well-balance diet requires fish and can contribute to heart health and proper development and growth.
 
Women and young children in particular should include fish in their diet due to nutritional benefits. The Fish are wonderful creation of God that live in the water.

I don't have the opportunity to eat fish as often as I want here because it's too expensive but, I still eat fish and will have a "FISH NIGHT."

Garden

Gifts of nature gives joy and happiness when you see the beauty. The good looking and attraction grabs attention to appreciate what God create.

The Garden, a planned space set aside for the display and enjoyment of people, animals and other forms of nature integrate both natural and man-made materials for more eye-catching.

Generally, the most common form of garden is known as a residential garden. Some are for decorative purpose only, while some gardens also produce food crops at times in a separate location, or sometimes intermixed with the ornamental vegetation.

Food-producing gardens are notable from farms by their smaller scale, more labor-intensive methods, and their purpose is not for sale but for enjoyment.

The activity of growing and maintaining a garden is called gardening. This is done by a specialist known as a gardener who could be a professional or an amateur.

This awesome garden is situated in a park in Timisoara, Romania.
