Going back
By the time you read this, I’ll be visiting my mum in England (Sussex).
Hopefully, the rain will have cleared
And the trees will be out in full bloom.
We’re going on holiday
To Eastbourne, a town on the south coast,
So I hope to relax, spend quality time with my mum
And – of course, get some good views of the sea!
(All photos from previous trips back ‘home’.)
I won’t be visiting any of you this week, but a big thank you for popping by.

Spring surprises
You never know what surprises spring might reveal:
A floating bench on purple-tinted water at sunset;
Three buds looking
Like small owls on a branch;
Raindrops glittering
Underneath a park bench;
And, popping up out of the field,
Camouflaged deer!
For more surprises, please go to: Our World.
Golden wonder
A perfect April evening …
A golden sunset
Where the heart is filled
With joy and wonder.
For more amazing sunsets, please visit: Skywatch.
The colours of spring
Spring has burst forth
In an outburst of molten gold;
The ice melts
In shades of blue;
And petals offer up
Bouquets of purple.
Oh, how I love the colours of spring!
For more spring, please go to: Our World.
Spring: Viking-style
Afternoon sunset
Finds us enjoying the cold.
The setting sun
Brings lilac with it
And tones of
Frozen gold.
For more spring shots, please go to: Skywatch.
Romancing the city
Early morning dawn:
I take out my mobile phone as I sit in a car and capture
The romance of the sky over Stockholm.
(I like the way the car window frames the cityscape.)
On the way home from work,
Lilac and pink clouds
Bid the sun farewell at sunset.
For more great skies, please visit: Skywatch.
Once in a blue moon
I wasn’t expecting to see the blue moon
At about half-past three in the afternoon.
But there it was – gracing the winter sunset;
Rising like a balloon
And being released into the sky by the trees.
For more stellar shots, please go to: Skywatch.
Drama in the skies
We had a lovely snowfall, which has now all melted away unfortunately,
But I made it down to the lake to enjoy the view before the snow disappeared.
This is our sunset at 14.45!
Clouds created
Lilac veils of drama
And the trees seemed to tickle
The purple bellies of the clouds.
For more drama, please visit: Skywatch.
Postcards from England
I had a great visit with my mum in England.
The day of my arrival saw the tail end of Hurricane Ophelia,
Which created a lovely background for sheep silhouettes.
The next day was warm and misty.
On our walk, we saw a strange, n-ewe species:
The two-headed sheep!
(Sorry about the baa-d pun.)
Our destination was this old, Saxon church
Dating back to the late 11th century.
My father is buried in this beautiful (and slightly isolated) location.
I’m busy this week with work so will only be posting once.
For more postcards, please go to: Our World.
And check out: Skywatch.
Golden moments
I’m away all week – off to England
To visit my mum.
Time to enjoy family, old houses
And my mum’s garden —
And, of course, my favourite walk
Up on the Sussex Downs.
(I wont’ be around to visit you this week.)
For more beautiful views, please visit: Our World.
