Two weeks off from work
doing chores around the house
get me back to work.

Lazy summer’s day
warmth reflected from the shrubs

Dance of the faeries

A bright shaft of light
countless butterflies delight
and then they are gone

- On observing one of the most beautiful natural sights I have ever seen. More than twenty Speckled Wood butterflies were chasing one another in long chains in a warm sunny spot in the woodland. As their wingtips brushed past the nettles plumes of pollen wafted into the air, like smoke. The display lasted only a few minutes until a cloud passed by, and the butterflies simply melted away into the woods. A moment that will live with me for the rest of my days. Magical.

Summer holidays

- On reflecting on the joy of summer holidays when I was a youngster and I could spend time in Cornwall with my grandparents and commune with nature, all day, every day. Happiest of days.
