Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Once a month, Paula’s theme is to show a photo in black and white and colour, but she lets us choose our own subject matter. The dandelions are already spreading their fairy wings, to the delight of some but to the horror of gardeners. I’m somewhere in the middle!
Here’s after editing,
and before,
Any preference?
Hello my friends, I haven’t been around much lately and I’ve missed you, but I wouldn’t have been very good company. I’m emerging though and have been watching spring doing the same, in my little part of the world.
Thank you all for your sweet messages in the last couple of weeks, even though I haven’t responded, it has meant a lot to me. The friends I’ve made here are so kind and supportive, you’ve touched my heart.
I know you’ll agree
a more handsome bird than he
there’s no chance you’ll see
A bit more lazy than usual this week because I have too many things I want to post!
And a bit scary too . . .
It’s easy being green!
Where nature meets art
and then again poetry
transcendence beckons
Natural refuge
a place of hibernation
wintry salt marsh
Sunshine and raindrops
settle on fresh, glaucous leaves
moist February
Last year’s leaves remain
sheltering delicate buds
with crisp copper robes
A sprinkling of crumbs
disintegration begins
majesty is lost
Lucid Gypsy
