Water

The water
Springs freely
From its Source.

Image of Light

Discovered in a moment;
A stolen opportunity
Captured
And explored!

Experience

So ephemeral
A minute
Or an hour
The highs and lows
Of life that we
Experience
And all totally
Unique.

Resistance to Change

How often do we know
Where we want to go
But don't take active steps
To get there because
Where we are is
More comfortable?

Translucent Beauty

As if internally lit
The translucent beauty
Shines through
Above and beyond itself.

Sea from the Mist

From cliff to cliff
Mist-enveloped;
Details blurred.
The sound of the
Sea surprisingly strong
And in the distance
A few waves
Are just visible.

Pollen Harvest

The buzz of bees
Around the St John's Wort
As they harvest the pollen;
Bags filled to over-flowing,
As they creatively
Go about fulfilling
Their tasks.

Church Bells

From beyond the mist
The evocative sound
Of church bells
Reminds me of
What day it is.

Montbretia

Beautiful shades of
Orange and yellow
Are seen all around
As the Montbretia
Comes into flower.

Restaurant at the End of the Branch

Do come in
The Restaurant
Is Open.
Seeds of many kinds
Are Available
And Free as a Bird.
(Cats not Welcome, of course).

Spider's Web

How fragile-looking,
Invisible from some directions
Yet such an efficient trap
Is the Spider's Web

Playfulness

Holidays
Are the time
For playfulness.

Random

Experience of today
Random events
Showing up
When and where
They will
A strange
Experience.

Not Quite Like Summer

The flowers and
Leaves on the trees
Tell a different story
Of Summer
Than the cold and rain
That is currently occurring.

Elephant Hawk Moth

Discovered
Suddenly
Lying
Against the wall
In all it's beauty.

Lafrowda Day

Despite the early rain
The sun shone
The processions paraded
And everyone had fun!

Getting the Harvest In

A complete change of weather
And a rush to get the
Harvest in
Before the rain
Spoils it all.

The Peace of Evening

Listening to the birds
The twitters and caws
As they fly overhead
And begin to roost
Feels so peaceful
And in harmony
With nature.

Friendship

Sharing the details
Of our lives
With each other
Two friends, parted
But briefly reunited

A New Little Llama

All legs and a little wobbly,
A new little llama
Explores its new world.

Evening Sky

Despite the cloud around
The moon shone brightly
Casting the reflected
Light from the sun.

Sunday Breakfast

I wonder where I can find some more of those wonderful berries?

Patience and Persistence

Patience and
Persistence
Go arm in arm
As I found today
When I tried
To publish my blog!

Saturday Afternoon

The peace of a Saturday afternoon
Is briefly altered by
The cry of the gulls and
The sound of a strimmer
Far in the distance.
Everyone's gone to the beach!

Birds

Quickly, quickly, catch the birdie

Choose an Identity

This phrase particularly caught my eye today. I must have seen it hundreds of times - but today it made me think. Choose an identity - who we would want to be in the world. Who would we be if we could choose to be anyone at all. Would we choose to be ourselves right here and right now?

Summer Showers

Grey clouds
Blown by the wind
Bring welcome rain
To the garden.

Kestrel

Hanging almost
Motionless
In the sky
The Kestrel
Searches for
It's prey.

Evening Sky Kite

Floating, drifting
Yet fighting the wind
Tethered, yet loose
In the evening sky
The kite flies.

Cloudscape

Like waves
Along the shore
The clouds drifted
Across the sky.

Life's Challenges

Life's challenges
Can sometimes
Be opportunities
In disguise
If we look at them
In a different light.
