Remember me: I'm Your window to the world.
**20 August 2021, Somewhere in the Metaverse - UplandDood (@Just1Dood)** First, an update On 18 August, I'd written an article as a result of being tagged. That article was posted yesterday but it was only a "Prelude" to the actual event. There is a follow-up (to be continued...) piece but I haven't the time to write that yet because I'll be busy the next two days. https://read.cash/@Just1dood/destination-uk-prelude-to-1-bchclub-party-with-2-djs-9a9ca045 Due to this, I'll be posting from my Article Bank for the next two days. Let's start. https://read.cash/@Just1dood/bank-of-articles-why-i-use-it-you-should-too-5c3a9e54 Getting Moldy Today is Saturday, 14 August 2021. It is just like any ordinary day. Sitting around doing nothing, chilling as usual. It is really unlike any other day. Nothing much is happening. Well, that is about to change. Being locked up at home during the pandemics has somewhat taken its toll on me. I'm getting moldy! I need some sunshine. I need to see the blue sky, the green mountain, the flowers, and anything little things that catch my eye. I look forward to going out. As I'd said, it's been a while, so every view seems fresh! Taking my time to take in all the details. Let every single ray comes through my view and gets registered in my memory. I'm soaking in every second of it. The sky seems bluer. The sunlight caressing the clouds displaying the positive vibes of silver linings so strikingly. I thought I noticed a slight rainbow arch smiling down on me. Let me stop and imprint that in my memory. It is not often that one sees a rainbow in the sky, however small. A Natural Couple Looking far into the horizon, the blue sky and the green mountains seem like a perfect match when illuminated by the dazzling all-pervading sunlight. **A perfect picture of a couple locked together forever, in light and in darkness**.
As I walked about, something caught my eye. Though I wasn't on a birdwatching expedition, something eerily familiar stopped me on my track. **Birds that were frozen in time**. I just had to get closer to have a look. Green ones, yellow ones. I'm taking them all in.
Since flowers are a popular topic, I'd decided to be on the lookout for some in the surrounding area. After all, there is still the danger of the pandemic lurking everywhere so not venturing too far away and staying close by is a good idea. A Hairy One Not too far away, something hairy got my attention. On closer inspection, it looks like a flower. I wasn't sure. Some of these have attracted ants, so it must be a type of flower that attracts ants and insects to help propagate itself. I make sure I have a good look at the hairs.
A Protruding One A few steps away, another weird-looking display of nature had distracted my focus on the current hairy attraction. This time it was something sticking out from a thick bush of green and it's all red! Again, on closer look, I noticed ants busy scurrying around on it. So, again, I deduced that it's a flower based on the same argument applied to the hairy flowers.
Let's Call It A Day Not wanting to be exposed too long to the outside world during the pandemic, I've decided to call it a day. That was enough excitement for a day. The matching couple, frozen birds, hairy and long protruding flowers - that's a lot to take in for a day. That should be enough memory to satisfy me for at least a period of time. Snap, Snap! Thank you for following my adventure today. I'm the window to the world. **It has been my privilege to be your camera today**. I want to help you capture moments you treasure. Do remember to take me out again soon. Don't let me gather mold. Thank you for reading. It's been since school days since I'd written something like this. Do you remember such writing exercises? Writing from the perspective of a daily used item?

Such a feel good read
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed reading it.
Ahhh, love 'em all flowers you took! Nature at its finest!
Yup. Nature on stage.
Wow. Amazingly horizon! Perfectly match from the scenery of the nature😍
Thank you. It was the right timing.
How I wish to go outside and take photo like you shared. But the pandemic stops me to do it. Thanks for sharing those photos, they are all looks amazing.
I hope it'll be safe enough for you to get out soon. Meanwhile, stay safe
Flowers brings color to the environment without them the surroundings would be dull and boring.
Yes. They paint the world beautifully for us to enjoy.
The beauty of nature is indeed unique and beautiful to look at. 💗
Yes, they dance for us to appreciate.
Glad you were able to go out again even for a short time :) those flowers are so beautiful
Yeah, fresh air and opportunity for the eyes to look a nature was great.
The last flower looks magical, it's some sort of like glows in the dark in the woods. But, dood, your watermark is huge.
LOL. Now that you mentioned it. I'll adjust accordingly next time. Need to get my brand out here you know. It's in your face marketing. 😂
I liked the bird-shaped flower like an orchid... I loved plants to exact and seem like you had a nice flora out there...
Yes, I love to see strange-looking flowers. I think the bird-like one is God's way of making us smile.
Yey.. someone was able to go out. I have to go out soon too! Loved the mountains and the blue sky. I wish i have that here.
Fresh air is great and natural view is a good break for the eyes.
It's good that you went out for a while so as not to get moldy. And thank you for letting us share those moments of contemplation. Since the pandemic began, we have had to learn to enjoy contemplating what surrounds us so as not to go a little crazy! ;)
It's getting more and more scary to venture out. The cases are getting more and more but the govt is relaxing the SOPs. There's no more sanity.
Here, the situation is not very different. Everyone seems effectively relaxed. And here, the government control on the cases is terrible, and the public health system is deplorable. The vaccination plan goes very slow. I go out as needed. But from time to time, it's good to take a breath and be distracted a bit.
We do our best to stay safe. Do be careful and always take extra precautions. Stay safe.
Colorful birds and a huge protruding one. Interesting set :D Even now going out and staying out still brings me anxiety. We really have to be careful out there.
Yes, we've pretty much decided not to go out at all unless absolutely necessary. Yeah, I'm usually intrigued by unusual-looking flowers.
