The last dance

 

Summer’s last hurrah

tardy, tatty butterfly

pauses in the sun.

Days for living

.

Chilly morn, clear, crisp

trees cast long slender shadows

and I am alive.

Cucumber and wine

 

Picture this: a man

chomps on a whole cucumber

in his other hand

a half-full bottle of wine;

A Bristolian breakfast.

High

 

High above the trees

where eagles soar and songs glide

is where my soul thrives.

Communicate 2017 conference

 

Inspirational;

advancing the way we see

the natural world.

 

by Scooj

 

The Communicate Conference, organised by the Bristol Natural History Consortium, is a coming together of wildlife/environment communications specialists from all sectors across the UK and beyond, to learn from great speakers and exceptional workshops. The challenges of ‘saving the planet’ have never been so great but the mood of the conference was to use our collective knowledge and passion to make positive changes. This, in the turbulent landscape of ‘fake news’ and ever reducing financial resources. Communicate is my annual fillip. I will do my best.

28 Years

 

It’s a long spell of

continuous employment

serving the public.

Today it comes to an end;

a switch to Civil Service.

Seven on the dot

apartment trembles; next door

a construction site.

Amtrak 171

 .

Track 1 for New York

delayed due to trees on track;

just like being at home.

Osprey

 

The Sound flat as glass

and ospreys criss-cross searching

for fish while I watch.
