Reflected skyscapes,
distortions of waking dreams,
muddled horizons.

End of life
Once green, now yellow,
wheat heads groan in windy gusts
longing for harvest.

Almost invisible
Standing out alone
in understated grandeur.
Most will walk on by.

Dragonfly
Relic from Earth’s youth
bathing in afternoon sun.
Fleeting adulthood.

Deer in open fields
scamper away for cover

Floret furnaces
laid out in regular rows

Allotment time
Here my breathing slows
until no air passes through;
place and mind are one.

I sat in this overgrown corner of my allotment doing a butterfly survey this afternoon. My heart rate slowed and I caught myself not even breathing. So calm and peaceful.
Love lost
Such vibrant colour
lost in verdant foliage;
perfect camouflage.

3. Broad Quay
There are two murals that appear to have been commissioned to celebrate the ‘Grand Appeal’, a charity that raises funds for Bristol Children’s Hospital. One of them dates back to 2013 and the Gromit Unleashed trail, the second, and very recent mural, links up with the Shaun in the City trail. They can be seen on Broad Quay next to the Radisson Blu Hotel.
The murals are by Cheo, a Bristol street artist whose trademark is a cartoon bumblebee that appears on most of his work. Cheo started in earnest in the 1980s and was clearly an emerging talent who won several prizes and awards as a youngster.
I am slowly becoming a fan of the cartoon style and admire the work of yet another Bristol-based street artist.

Blue whales arrive with
a message in a bottle –
don’t throw it away.

As part of Bristol Green Capital, this enormous public art installation will be launched on Friday 17 July. I saw the artists making the finishing touches to ‘Bristol Blue Whales’ today. It is stunning.
