Good afternoon, @nanixxx. The photos of the sparrow and that bird on the tracks are beautiful.
The images of that neighborhood that reminded you of your grandparents' house have made me think... what stories unfold in those homes, how do the people who live there make a living, are they happy...?
Getting back to reality, I love that you photograph birds, even if some of them are difficult to photograph.
I hope you're having a great day. 🤗

Hello @enraizar,
The reality of those people is as manyfold as we can imagine. Some may be happy with very little, others dissatisfied, and others still facing great hardship there. We can tell the stories of those who wish to share them… we’d just have to go back and ask.
My grandparents were very kind people who lived for many years in a little house—I wish I had photos of it—until my father and his siblings were able to build them a home with better conditions. It was made of masonry with fibre cement roof tiles. By the time they could enjoy it, they were already elderly. But they kept their joy. My grandma raised free-roaming chickens in her yard, which she always kept neatly swept. She’d sweep it with brooms made from palm fronds.
I used to love watching her pick through the rice. She would lay a cloth over the table and carefully pick out all the little seeds, tiny stones—everything… leaving it clean. Then she’d cook it over a wood fire. Her food always tasted so good. I loved watching her call the chickens to feed them early in the morning… 😄 she also made soups with them… absolutely delicious.
Happiness is something we must seek within ourselves, and I believe those who find it are able to see abundance even when life has always shown them the opposite. I do believe reality can change… but let’s not get too philosophical. Haha… What I really want to say is thank you, you’ve helped me remember even more beautiful things.
🤗
Good afternoon @nanixxx. On my mother's side, my grandparents lived in a house similar to the ones in the pictures... a neighborhood that witnessed many stories, and my mother, like you, has very fond memories of that past.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories.
By the way, winter has arrived here... I hope the sun continues to shine there.
Un gran abrazo!! 😎🤗
