Welcome to week 13 of the Pull up a Seat Challenge in 2023.
Take a load off and share a favorite perch by linking your post to this one, either with a comment or ping-back. For more detailed directions go to Pull Up a Seat page.
It is always fun to see the variety of ideas this theme evokes.

Also, with a few words of explanation (below) for Hammad Rais’s Weekend Sky, and Jez Braithewaite’s Water, water everywhere.
The sky at dusk was unusual yeterday evening. The air was very clear and one could see to Mount Baker in the North Cascades, which is rarely visible because of moisture and smog in the atmosphere. Yet the soft edges of the nearest clouds are rain. This was taken from the ferry between Vashon Island and Southworth on the Kitsap Penninsula. The island in the foreground is Blake. Between the sound, the rain and the snow on the mountain I thought it suited Water, water everywhere.
This challenge is simple: step back for a few minutes each week to find a lovely thing, a precious moment, anything you find lovely. Then post about it. You can just post a picture or you can go into detail and tell it as a reflection, story or poem.
It could be anything:
a smile…a rainbow…a flower…a kind act…a tasty treat
Quick note: I have been alerted that ping-backs aren’t working sometimes. If you use “whatsoever-is-lovely” as a tag it can help me find your post in case the ping-back doesn’t work.

Just throwing away something alive has always felt wrong, so I now have several ghosts of Christmases past, in the form of amaryllis bulbs.
They re-bloom every year. Left to their own devices, which is my general approach to gardening, they seem to have settled on March. Six of them are going at it right now.
One thing is pretty clear: I need to clean my windows!
These star magnolias are on our usual daily dog walk. I’ve been watching them testing the air. Now they look like a go.
They look a bit like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
Maybe spring will come this year!

It’s fun to watch the ducks. The goldeneye are diving ducks that fish together in groups.
These aren’t what you normally think of when you think of spring flowers, but, if you look very close, you can see that these alder catkins are clusters of little dark pink flowers.
From a distance the alders have a pink/orange patina due to the color of the catkins (they are the deciduous trees with the light trunks).
For Cee’s Flower of the Day and Denzil Nature Photo Challenge: Pink.
