Blushing dawn
The blushing apricot tones
Of dawn light up the sky,
And bring a sparkle
To the trees wearing
Their winter dress of hoar frost.
Then the dawn mellows
Into a melody of lilac and pink
Over the old church across the frozen lake.
Who says cold isn’t beautiful?

Golden horizon
November was mild and grey —
But one day, the sun broke through the cover
To create a lovely golden horizon of trees.
Clouds floated by
In rainbow colours,
And, of course, Ruby had to pose
At the end of the jetty under the silver sky.

Frozen beauty
If you could see cold —
Then it might be painted with frost and lilac
And the first blush of a late winter dawn.

Tattered
You can be tattered, but still beautiful.
My father is ill so I’m in England visiting him and won’t be replying to your kind comments.
See you at the end of the week.

Bring me that horizon
Misty curtains part,
Dawn appears through the cracks
With fingers of light.
Time to stop and gaze in wonder;
And let the busy pause.

Be-dewed
Autumn went by in the blink of an eye,
But before it disappeared, it left some dewy gifts:
Yellow suns,
A spent sunflower
Adorned with a spider’s web,
A glorious necklace of dewdrops
On soft petals,
Hot pink
Rainy flowers,
And a dreamy
Pink tutu.

Misty jewels
I found a jewel in the early morning mist.
(Ruby takes her role as model very seriously.)
To the right of the jetty,
A pink panorama opened up;
And to the left, an Impressionist painting
Of trees floating in the dawn.

What I learnt from Venice
Tired of all my Venice photos? Good – neither am I!
What I learnt from Venice:
When we give people (or nature) the space and love they need
They can go their own way and create something wonderful.
Going off the beaten path
Leads to new wonders and perspectives.
Handle with love —
A philosophy that makes life more beautiful.
And, sometimes, in the midst of ruins
Treasures can be found.

Into Impressionism
Late September sunsets
Are when cloud rainbows reflect in water
And autumn dances in
Wearing lilac veils.
