Christmas

Of all the pleasures
Of Christmas
It is seeing
The lights
And the Tree  . . .
Merry Christmas
Everyone
And may it bring
All the blessings
In your life
That you wish for . . .

Rainbow

The compensation
For heavy showers of rain
At this time of year
With some sunshine
Are the rainbows . . .

Autumn Sunshine

Between fog and rain
Filtered through leaves
Due shortly to fall
The sun feels
Even more precious . . .

Autumn

Autumn mists descend
Enshrouding all in cloud
And enhancing
The delicacy
Of a spider's web.

Memories of Summer

And a happy accident
Of seeing
Three young
House martins
Just before
They fledge . .

Choughs

Sighted
Several times
Along the coast
And on the cliffs
Cornwall's
National bird.
What a
Privelege

Summer Browswing

On a lazy
Summer day,
The bee buzzes
From flower to flower
Intense on its collection.

Lafrowda Day 2013

Beautiful sunshine
And a light breeze
With abundant music
Creative processions
And happy people
Who could ask for
more?

Buzzing

Despite the
Cool weather
All around me
Plants and insects
Are buzzing . . .

Sunny Memories

Today
With the fog rolling in
It's good to remember
Sunnier times . . .

Bumblebee

Flying from flower to flower
On a sunny afternoon,
A welcome sight
After a long winter!

Sunset

Over the hill
It looked as if
The sky was
On fire -
So of course
I had to stop
And take a photo!

Mellow Evening

Warm sun
Beckons me
Away from
The computer
And after singing
To show me beauty . . .

View from Lelant

A beautiful Saturday morning
Amid bright sunshine
The view is stunning
And clear
Looking
Towards the sea.

Pheasant

Hidden by a copse
At the edge of a field
Giving out a call
The pheasant
Displays his magnificence.

Collared Dove(s)

Sometimes singly
Or in pairs
They come
To sit on
The willow tree
And check for food

Cloud Creations

The colour,
Lighting
And texture
Of clouds
Can be
Magnificent!

Blackbird

The sounds of Spring
In the song of a Blackbird
As the notes soar to the sky
And dive to the depths,
In beautiful profound
Vocal richness.

Daffodils

So welcome
At this time of year
With their cheerful colour
And gracefully nodding heads
A reminder that spring
Is not too far away!

Saturday Walk

Despite overcast skies
The colours of the sea
Muted violet and turquoise
Inspired the senses!

Dramatic Scenery

Dark clouds brood
Above the horizon
Whilst the sea
Is flooded in light . .

Reflections

Watching
The clouds
In the sky
I think about
Being and doing . . .

Inspiration

Inspiration
Comes
In those moments
Of pure joy.

The Silent Visitor

Stealthily, silently
Quiet in the night
The soft flakes fell
To cover the ground
In a blanket of white
Snow . . .
Quickly, visibly
The snow melted fast
Leaving no trace
Of its brief visit.

Winter Walk

By the sea
On a winter afternoon
Beside a calm sea
And moody sky
Is still breathtaking.

Contrasts

From a day of mizzily rain
To bright warm sunshine
What a blessing!

New Years Day

Bright sunshine
Inspires me to walk
In nature;
Admiring it's beauty
With deep gratitude.
