CATERPILLAR OR SHOELACE

This morning the air brings a rather disconcerting scent of fish, a pale blue and pink sunrise shades the sky and a bird I cannot name sounds in the distance. Alt text says this week’s photo is a close up of a caterpillar. I say it is two photos side by side, one showing aContinue reading “CATERPILLAR OR SHOELACE”

A SWISH, A GALLOP AND TWO LOOSE SCREWS

This morning I cannot detect a specific scent in the air, and alt text is not offering me any suggestions for the photograph associated with this blog! This seems to reflect the fact I was late getting up after a weekend away at a yarn show, and my gears are not yet fully oiled andContinue reading “A SWISH, A GALLOP AND TWO LOOSE SCREWS”

GLANCES, GLIMPSES AND OBSERVATIONS

This morning the air brings me the tint of caramel. The soft pudding kind. I look around for any clues for where this might be coming from, but my early morning eyes do not determine anything in particular that could account for such a scent. The day is opening quietly, and it brings with itContinue reading “GLANCES, GLIMPSES AND OBSERVATIONS”

MARGARINE TUBS OF MARBLES AND ERASERS

This morning the air brings a sense of cleanliness and has no particular scent that I can determine. A gentle chatter of birds sounds from the aerials and chimney pots. I get the sense the day started a while ago for them. Alt text says this week’s photo is a glass jar with a blueContinue reading “MARGARINE TUBS OF MARBLES AND ERASERS”

JUST START AND KEEP GOING

This morning the air is fresh after the rain, the sky is blurred grey and the magpies are sounding their rattles in the trees. I think I can smell horse chestnut leaves; I call it autumnal. My mind is on the changing of seasons and the passing of time. Alt text says this week’s photoContinue reading “JUST START AND KEEP GOING”

BETTER TO BE BORN LUCKY THAN RICH

This morning the air brings gentle hints of autumn. It holds coolness and damp. The seasons are shifting. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person standing in front of a display of knitted clothes. I say it is, and that it is me in front of some of Kath’s designs at Wonderwool Wales.Continue reading “BETTER TO BE BORN LUCKY THAN RICH”

LOOKING FOR A SIGN

This morning the ground is damp, and the birds are singing unhurried songs. The air is fresh and floral; a light mixture of flowers and grass. Alt text says this week’s photo is a stuffed animal in the air, and indeed it is. It is a blurred Ronnie jumping for joy by a bridge inContinue reading “LOOKING FOR A SIGN”

IT’S TIN, IT’S POTTERY, IT’S PEARL

This morning the warm air brings the scent of coffee underscored by rich dark chocolate. I stand still to linger in the moment and breathe deeply. Alt text says this week’s photo is of a stuffed animal in a bush of yellow flowers. I say it is Ronnie ‘pre-cataracts’ ignoring the fact that there areContinue reading “IT’S TIN, IT’S POTTERY, IT’S PEARL”

HUMANNESS

This morning the ground has been dampened by rain for the first time in ages and the air is all roses and rosemary. Alt text says this week’s image is a colourful background with words. I say it is a page from a carousel created by Maxine Bell for The Association of Business Poets. IContinue reading “HUMANNESS”
