color in the wind

Not so long ago we watched through the window as the fences fell over in a storm, one by one, like a pack of cards, all round the property. The high winds today have been pretty much the same, whistling and crashing all day. The fences (restored) are holding up, but it has been a day for tying down the dustbins… and checking other things….

Tiles.
still.fixed
on this slanting roof.
Catkins. horizontal in the wind. hang on
Iris. buds. still looking strong.
One bird. fluffed. hidden. nearly
Two flying things. sailing. having fun
Yellow fields. powdering.the air
Hedges. clipped. behaving…Ah!
The cherry blossom…
petals like snow
flurrying
falling
to the
ground.
..Here
Counting each one. ~ Gill McGrath © May5

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!
