Context

 

Balance in nature

is settled , until challenged;

newt out of water.

 

by Scooj

 

  • I found this little newt deep in the soil whilst digging potatoes yesterday.

Doors

 

Curiosity

opens doors previously

locked by ignorance.

Fool at Poolside

 

Cool and Inviting

the azure ripples beckon –

left my trunks at home.

 

by Scooj

 

I was pleasantly surprised to see a commission by Cheo, a Bristol street artist on the far side of the pool. See more here and here.

Mixed Feelings

 

Anniversary

of a birth and death today;

celebrate and mourn.

Tales

 

I do believe in

fairies; I have seen many.

They watch over me.

August

 

Holiday is here.

No work for a whole fortnight;

feeling like a kid.

 

by Scooj

Froglet

 

Venturing beyond

their safe havens, exploring;

most will not make it.

Haiku 19

 

Constant, leaden skies

press down on saddened landscapes;

when will the storm come?

 

by Scooj

Dip dip…

 

A fleeting moment

of blue interrupts standard

British Summer grey.

Leaf cutter bee

 

Solitary bee

navigating to and fro;

busy nestbuilding.
