ripples of cloudfoam
caressing the sea-blue sky
like a lazy tide

What a greeting this morning! The rain the last few days has been a gift, and the roses and penstemons have drunk it eagerly. At bottom right of this picture is a gorgeous spray of soft raspberry Comte de Chambord, a beautiful multpetalled old rose with big, soft green leaves. To the left a chime of bells from penstemon Hidcote Pink, a shade or two softer and streaked inside each bell with baby pink. Bees love them. More of those in the centre of the frame, and spreading above them two sprays of pink-flushed golden Peace roses in full bloom with buds crowding among their glossy dark green leaves. A world of beauty and life on two square metres of London clay.
feeling like perfume
smelling like satin tasting
like joy - roses riot

A meadow in the heat haze yesterday.
Cranborne, North Dorset - it might have been Crete.

The bridge over a winterbourne in high summer.
The sound of running water a far distant memory.

In Irish lore, blackberries are fairy gifts in high summer. A girl picked July’s sweet berries humbly, and fairies filled her basket. 🧺🫐
Her greedy sister took too much, earning only thorns. Respect the Good Folk’s bounty! 🧚♀️

A blue sky over golden fields and green hedges, seen from the train to Cambridge.
blue and gold
swimming in the heat

A patchwork of green and golden fields reaching to a line of green trees, under a blue sky patched with clouds. A path runs across the image in the middle distance, curving around one of the fields.
a patchwork season
fields green and golden, skies
blue shading to grey
