Dip dip…

 

A fleeting moment

of blue interrupts standard

British Summer grey.

Leaf cutter bee

 

Solitary bee

navigating to and fro;

busy nestbuilding.

Is it time for tea?

Sandwiches and cakes on a

sunny afternoon.

Fossil

Hidden in the sand

an ancient artefact bides;

Eocene shark tooth.

Close up of a fossil shark tooth, Bracklesham Bay

 

Fossil hunting in Bracklesham Bay is a passion of mine.

D.I.Y.

There is no pleasure

in stripping wallpaper off;

Only awful mess.

Fox

 

Wiley visitor,

a young fox surveys its patch;

cat is not amused.

Love song

 

Miss Joan Hunter Dunn

I love you more than J.B.

could have imagined.

 

by Scooj

 

With thanks to, and total admiration for John Betjeman and A Subalterns Love Song

Being

 

My mind’s eye wanders

from mortal bondage and pain

to heavenly bliss.

Heron

Hunched and replete

while Old Father Thames glides by;

enough fish today.

Matilda

Early start today;

up to London for a show,

a holiday treat.
