Call of duty

 

On this hottest day

a drive to Telford and back

‘dad cab’ in action

Electric storm

 

Darkest muddy skies

frequent flickering flashes

and muted thunder

 

by Scooj

* That was some electric storm we had over Bristol last night. I cannot recall ever seeing anything like it. We were getting about 20-30 flashes of lightning every minute for more than an hour. It was spectacular. And only one rumble of thunder right at the start, to announce the light show had begun.

 

Irony

 

Working to inspire

folk to connect with nature

from behind a desk

Addict

.

Haunted look of guilt

shuffles, trousers hanging low

short on dignity.

Standstill

 

A30 is closed

there’s an accident ahead

trapped with no options.

Family shindig

 

Ere the gathering

excited conversations;

my lovely cousins.

River Allen

 

In busy Truro

a tidal river wanders

hiding from our gaze.

New Forest

.

The trees neatly trimmed

to the height of a pony

the grass closely cropped.

To Southampton

Three teen girls hold a

digital conversation

on a long journey.

Blind frenzy

 

Kamikaze gulls

oblivious of traffic

grab food from the road.

 

One tumbles under a car;

fortune favours the stupid.
