This morning the air carries the scents of fuchsia and tea rose, and I wonder whether an elephant hawk moth is eating leaves somewhere close by. Alt text states this week’s photo is a person in a graduation gown. I say it is one of my special someones striding out in a mortar board andContinue reading “STRIDING OUT”

ENTHUSIASTIC APPLAUSE
This morning I am interested in what the air smells like where you are. I am also interested in whether you will, in the future, help me to celebrate my hundredth episode by taking note of what the morning air is scented with on that particular day. If my calculations are correct the one hundredthContinue reading “ENTHUSIASTIC APPLAUSE”
HOW IT STARTED, HOW IT’S GOING
This morning the cool air is very welcome. It carries the vague scent of cut flower stems. Alt text suggested this week’s photos could be a collage of a person lying on the grass or a collage of a person smiling.

ENTERING MY BLACK AND WHITE PHASE
This morning the air holds a hint of holly. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person leaning against a brick wall.

A GREEN CARNATION
This morning the air holds the scent of oak and blackbirds are sounding their alarm calls. Alt text says this week’s photo is a green object on a white plate.

I say it is a deflating balloon which I saw at the end of my early morning stroll on Saturday morning. I don’tContinue reading “World Early Stroll Day”
THAT BANDSTAND
This morning the birds have already sung in the new day. The air is still, and holds the scent of almonds. Alt text says this week’s photo is a person standing in front of a sign. I say it is me behind the bannered and flagged railings of the bandstand at Oswestry Pride saying poemsContinue reading “THAT BANDSTAND”
Turning the Calendars Over
This morning the air smells cold. It is clear and fresh as though it has been rinsed by night. I sense floral elements, but even standing still under the blue sky and breathing deeply I cannot name them. Alt text offers no suggestions for this week’s photo. I say it is part of each ofContinue reading “Turning the Calendars Over”
RAINBOWS AND CHICKPEAS
This morning the day felt quiet as if it was snoozing its way into Bank Holiday Monday, and I found myself almost tiptoeing outside to breathe the air. It was clear and fresh.
