sun. now balances on orange stubble

201412 14 Balancing on a blade of blue grass
this morning
though you cannot see
this lonely sun is past the big dark wood
she’s in a different field
she’s free!
press to inspect the delicate blades of grass on which she tries to dance……
before she turns. the long track back December 23

Writing art: Orange. Louis Bourgeois

Stick with this one. You may have seen it already on my pages. She has been there for a time!!!

the poet who never  wrote a word
about  a life which all the others
wished they had
she was a lady
who lived
long
produced
all the works
which most the others
really  wished they could
~orange is not just a colour~ Gill McGrath  from my ‘Ode to the Artist’

Here is  a little more about Louis Bourgeois at the Tate:

Its OK……. I was just playing ‘Suzanne’ by Leonard Cohen while looking through the sun setting  photos I had  been snapping earlier. The song  said something about…’oranges and tea from China’… so  I  thought I would add  the  words iced purple cream to this one! Gill McGrath© press for the song

Found this mini-beast climbing trying to climb up the side of the bird bath yesterday so there was great excitement! It was ‘saved’ from drowning and put on the path (which looks mountainous here) for a photograph.It was very lively! I haven’t seen a caterpillar all summer and I know this one is out of season. But I don’t know what it is.I would love to know…..? Took six shots. This shot turned out to be the best and is worth pressing to see more (amazing) detail. About 4 cms
