An Enchanted Place
discover a magical world
January
walk along snow-dusted
fence lines,
lit by the fading light
*
and find peace amidst
the shadows, in the
embrace of the Winter’s chill
*
for now is the time of
dreaming, as
night begins its descent
*
and now is the time
for planning, as we await the
renewals of Spring
*
so walk along
snow-dusted fence lines,
lit by the fading light
*
and find peace amidst
the shadows, embracing
the Winter’s chill

Unlike most of the UK, we’ve not had much snow this January – only a light sprinkling last week. I had to get out onto the Viking Way to catch the views out over the Lincolnshire countryside with the little that we did get, though.
For anyone who might be curious, the vapour trails in this final shot are the Red Arrows out practicing. They’re quite a common sight, though rarely close enough to catch on camera.
There
venture out
beyond ploughed fields
to rugged heathland
*
there
*
watch the day’s stresses
dissolve into evening’s
kaleidoscopic light
*
there
*
let nature’s balm
soothe the aching of a
fettered soul
*
there
*
explore paths
borne of myriad
possibility
I might not have been on my blog much recently, but I have still been getting out and about, exploring the countryside around our new village and taking lots of photographs. We’re lucky enough to have the route of a national footpath – the Viking Way – run through the village. I try to get out onto it as much as I can.
Spirits of the Water
laughter dances as
footsteps
shimmer on water
*
gentle caresses
calm fears
into peaceful serenity
*
seductive voices
entice
until sorrows drown
The Journey
don’t give up
with every step your destination
grows nearer
I’ve spent a few mornings at the meadow recently, photographing the flowers and the insects and the birds. And anything else that catches my eye! I found this little creature particularly fascinating to watch. It was very determined to reach the edge of the daisy.
And, yes, the daisies are looking as beautiful as ever.
In case anyone is interested, I’ve recently started an instagram account. It’s connected to our environmental website, The Rooter, and is all about connecting with nature. So, if you’d like to see more of my photos, you can find me as @therooteruk.
