Once proud mistletoe

merges with emergent leaves

longing for Christmas.

Nest building

 

A pair of magpies

plunder the garden for twigs

brought down by the winds.

Acer

Japanese maple

indescribable colour

natural wonder.

Outside in

 

Dog rather confused

by an urgent sparrow trapped

bumping the window.

 

Both creatures in high alert

each frightened of the other.

 

 

Rebellion continues

.

In Parliament Square

I’m awestruck by the protest

and I meet a friend.

  • Extinction Rebellion is a selfless movement that has a global future very much in mind. I must find a way to get involved without risk of losing my job.

And here on Broad Drive

carpets of new bluebells bask

by ruddy Acers.

I’m rather drawn to

  • These days there isn’t an awful lot to cut and most of the hard work is getting rid of the hair on/in my ears, my eyebrows etc – getting old is the pits.

Sounds of spring

 

Pigeon coo cooing

heard in the front room fireplace

chimney stack calling.
