lurking on a bramble leaf

with regal splendour.

At the water’s edge

in small clumps of green and gold

waving at the sun.

Eye to eye

A swan and angler

exchanging lazy gazes;

close but not too close.

5/30 Busy Bee

Intoxicated

by Summer’s bramble nectar;

bumblebee heaven.

On the face of it,

beautiful patterns.

I have signed up to the Wildlife Trusts’ 30 Days Wild campaign, which began on the 1 June, so I have a little catching up to do. The campaign (http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/30DaysWildInfo) encourages a deliberate contact with wildlife everyday for the month of June, and to share your experience with others. I will do mine here.

Jackie

She looked after me

and pointed out the blackbirds

when I was little.

Love May

Hey! George Monbiot

it will be forever May

when you rule the world.
