Flowers in the Window

Day 274 of 365 Days Wild was another dull, grey day outside, so I decided to brighten it up by transforming my little propagation unit back into a flower vase. … More Flowers in the Window

Keys
01/03/2021
the keys to lessons of yesteryear hang illuminated in the light of a youthful sun that grows in strength with each day’s passing, embracing discovery with the eager inquisition of generations advancing into fresh avenues of growth: for old ways yet cling on, shining beacons of both the wisdom of age and the fragility of … More Keys

Symphony
09/04/2020
out where nature’s solitude
soothes rampant fears of social
interaction and sickness, out
where the daffodils and bluebells
merrily sway, life blooms in
swelling melodies as birdsong
choruses greet dawn’s touch … More Symphony

A May morning in the orchard
14/05/2018
On a sunlit May morning last week, before starting our work for the day, my sister and I paid a visit to Cross O’Cliff Orchard in Lincoln. An historical orchard concealed behind buildings in the middle of a residential area of the city, you can easily walk past the entrance without ever realising that a … More A May morning in the orchard

Changing Seasons 2016: April
09/05/2016
I know this is very late but I was determined to get it out anyway! As some of you may know, I spent April joining in with CampNanoWriMo. Nearly all of my free time was spent working on my novel which is why this wasn’t posted then. My favourite writing spot, however, (when it wasn’t … More Changing Seasons 2016: April

Changing Seasons 2016: March
26/03/2016
This post is for Cardinal Guzman’s monthly Changing Seasons photography challenge. This year I’m photographing my favourite place in the village – the little wooded path alongside the wildflower meadow that runs down to the stream. The main feature during March has been the daffodils, which were much later to bloom beneath the shelter of the trees … More Changing Seasons 2016: March

Weekly Photo Challenge: Optimistic
27/01/2016
This post is for the Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s prompt is optimistic. Hoping: warm sun remains, dispelling bleak darkness, setting winter to memory. Eager. We’re having a very weird, wet, windy yet warm winter over here in England. Daffodils in January. Need I say more? The picture above I actually took right at the beginning of January – it was … More Weekly Photo Challenge: Optimistic

Cee’s Which Way Challenge 2015: Week #14 – The Brick Lined Path
14/04/2015
Kicking at the stones that lie in your way, you walk the lane as it winds between freshly ploughed fields. The path is worn and uneven from the passage of countless feet, rutted and torn by tractors and cars. Bricks line the way, providing a modicum of stability – but even they are crumbling. Birdsong … More Cee’s Which Way Challenge 2015: Week #14 – The Brick Lined Path
From Winter
01/01/2015
  From Winter Retreat, huddle down, as darkness creeps ever further over the barren landscape. Icicle fingers bind tight; hearts and minds joyless, fearful in Winter’s captivity. A flickering glimmer of light amidst shadow. Watch night retreat. A shaft of pale daylight dances across the pristine crystals clothing nature’s naked beauty. A jubilant laugh; a … More From Winter
