Yarrow


The white flowers
Of the yarrow
Decorate the
Hedges.

June


A month of rain and mist
As well as some hot sun
And wind. Just a
Cross-section of
Summer in Cornwall

Gratitude


Grateful for the blue of the sky
Of the sun that shines,
The clouds that bring shade
And the wind which
Keeps everything cool.

Bouquet of Roses


Flowers on the hedge
Rich with colour
Dancing in the wind.

Monday Afternoon



The cat at the window



Jackdaws chacking



As the wind blows



Through the



Laurel bush



A chorus of sounds.

Pirate Ship



An image of the past



Complete with



Skull and Crossbones



Looks so romantic



In the present.

And All the Fun of the Fayre



Mazey Day has come again



With Parades and Banners



Fabulous creatures



And excited children!

Friday 24 June 2011

Summer Rain



Drops on the window pane



In front of grey skies



As a misty rain



Sweeps horizontally



Through the valley.

Dramatic Sky



Driving home



I saw this.



Had to stop



To take



A picture!

Wednesday 22 June 2011

Damselfly



With the colours of a



Precious jewel



The damselfly



Alights.

Sentries


Standing to attention
Like sentries on duty
The foxgloves guard
The stile.

Ash Tree


Under your branches
And leaves you give
Shelter for so many
Animals.

Memories


Memories of times past
Flood my mind,
Bringing sorrow as
Well as joy which
Is all part of experience
And the fullness of Life.

Moorlands


In spring, full of bracken
In summer, full of gorse
And heather flowers,
A home for many small
Creatures
And wonderful at any time.

Friday 17 June 2011

Raindrops


Beautiful transparent
Glistening drops
Of water,
So beautiful
To see.

Thursday 16 June 2011

Pictures


Sometimes stimulating
Or evocative
Pictures
Can say so much.

Cornish Ancient Sites


For thousands of years
The ancient sites have existed
In many parts of Cornwall.
Loved and valued by locals
And tourists alike.

Seascape


Primed by a perfect day,
Sky, clouds and sea meet
In a harmony of blues.

Summer Days


Full of light and warmth
Summer days bring
Us hope and joy
As well as a chance
For some
Relaxation and fun.

Sunday 12 June 2011

Plants


So diverse
Yet so abundant
In so many ways.
We depend on them
For our very lives.
And often so beautiful.

Joy of a Garden


Watching nature
All around
Birds and hover
Flies carry on
With their lives
In calm
Contentment.

Friday 10 June 2011

Contrasts


A study in dark
And light
As evening
Falls.

Thursday 9 June 2011

Transitions


Transitions are part of all of our lives
From baby, to child, to adult,
From single sometimes
To married.
Or perhaps
The other way around.
Transitions are part of all of our lives.

Moderation


St Paul is reputed to have said
'Moderation in all things.'
Not a bad way to live a life
A little of this and a little of that
Nothing in excess
Always in balance
Could be a recipe that works.

Tuesday 7 June 2011

New Directions


All is change
And opportunities
For new directions
In our lives -
Different choices
And different
Ways of being.

Monday 6 June 2011

Honeysuckle


By the garden fence
The honeysuckle blossoms
Red and pink
In all its beauty.

Sunday 5 June 2011

Town Band


Meeting other musicians
Sharing the music together
As we rehearse as
The Town Band

Saturday 4 June 2011

Gentleness


Gentleness to ourselves
As well as to others
Often helps to resolve
Conflict if it also allows love
Wisdom and understanding
From the Soul.

Friday 3 June 2011

Six Spot Burnets


Clustered around
The pink Thrift
The Six Spot Burnets
Feed on the nectar.

Thursday 2 June 2011

Evensong


More than a church ritual
But simply a celebration
Of the completion
Of a beautiful day.

Faith


Writing takes a lot of faith
Faith that the idea will be there
And faith that the words will come
To fill the blank page,
To allow creative expression
To take place.
It all starts with faith;
The need to let go
And allow something to
Magically appear.
