Three birds caught in setting sun (if you look close)

Evening: Its thick cloud and this is the only sliver of light in the sky, down the street. If you press the picture you might find three birds (two fly on the orange, one sits on a chimney). One shot no hanging about.
And just as I thought the cloud was too thick to see the moon just yet….at 9.24 pm I just noticed it high up but right outside the living room window (at the back of the house). Hi moon! Nice one! Night night!

4.14 am Eureka!

2014 05 24 Eureka My horizon jpg sig
Watching the sun playing games on the horizon! I am  looking down the hill which dips towards a church and  rolls up again towards the rising sun; now framed in lamplight and the ‘bird’ washing lines (or power lines if you like!). Here I am the’ Only Big Kid on the block’ ……. UP again!….looking out of  an upstairs window at the only time of year  the sun arrives just  here. No need to run out to the field round the corner to see…. a  more spectacular view! Here there are no moving cars with honking horns. Just me and a window, while the world sleeps, it seems. And I’m on cushions, coffee in hand!

Saving the lovely droopy peony: who bows her head as if in shame

2014 05 20 Peony jpg sig

the peony is like a rose
but kinder softer without thorns
when you pick her
she will offer no resistance
she will stand just as sweetly on display
because
she knows that in the glass
she has just one last chance
to hold her head up high!

(Yeah to peonies! There are twenty more like her in the garden getting heavy with dew! So I saved this one and gave her blue!)
