POET FEELING PROUD

This week I had expected to be writing about the air not smelling of cow dung because it never has on a Monday morning… Sometimes I call my mum when I am out on a walk and sometimes on these walks there is a distinct smell of cow dung. I tell her this. I likeContinue reading “POET FEELING PROUD”

EMBRACING MY SHADOW

This morning the air is all sweet grass and tea rose as the cockerel announces the new day. Alt text says this week’s image is a collage of shadows of a person’s face and a person’s head. I say it is me trying to take photos of my shadow with flowers for eyes. I laughedContinue reading “EMBRACING MY SHADOW”

SOMEBODY’S MISSING

This morning the air has been sung in fresh by the dawn chorus. It carries hints of green and fuchsia. Alt text suggests that this week’s photo is a person sitting on a lawn with flowers. I say it is a photo of my lovely dad and the flowers we chose to celebrate his lifeContinue reading “SOMEBODY’S MISSING”

HAIR BUNS AND PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES

This morning the air carries the scent of warmed green leaves. It is both comforting and fresh. Alt text offers no spontaneous suggestions for this week’s photo. I say it is a four-picture montage of my time at Wonderwool Wales. The selfie picture top left makes it look like I have a hair bun which weContinue reading “HAIR BUNS AND PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES”

TWO SISTERS AND A COW

This morning the air brings the distinct smell of cut grass. The birds have turned up their dawn chorus songs these last few days and are welcoming the mornings with a vigour that is admirable. Alt text tells me this week’s photo is ‘two women taking a selfie in front of a cow’. I sayContinue reading “TWO SISTERS AND A COW”

SPRING FORWARD

This morning the air brings a whole symphony of floral notes playing on the cool fresh air. It is as if I am smelling it in shades of pinks. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person holding a cake. I say it is a photo of my lovely mum posing for a photoContinue reading “SPRING FORWARD”

WALKING WITH MY SHADOW

This morning the cat from across the road sings me three hellos while the air brings us gentle elements of spring. Alt Text says this week’s photo is a shadow of a person on a road. I say this is me out on the country lane walking with my shadow. I liked the length ofContinue reading “WALKING WITH MY SHADOW”

I DON’T KNOW

This morning the herring gulls are laughing and the air smells cleansed. I stand still in the moment and feel gratitude for last night’s Mary Chapin Carpenter concert and the clear starlit sky that ended the day. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person smiling with a scarf around their neck. I sayContinue reading “I DON’T KNOW”

STEPPING OUT FOR SNOOKER BY THE SEA

This morning the rain brings a gentle dampness, and the air holds the scent of sap and twigs. Alt text says this week’s photo is two women taking a selfie. I say it is me and my sister taking a selfie having learned that it is best if we both sit down. When we standContinue reading “STEPPING OUT FOR SNOOKER BY THE SEA”
