breathing pink and blue

breathing
in the pink and blue
a pigeon sits has found the moon!
sun climbs the line
is out of view
where
the pigeon walks
the lady smiles
stretching through the mist…..  Gill McGrath© [April 8]

today. breakfast at dawn……

in a pink and blue mist
by the whispering moon
as the quarter bell rings
…its where the bird sits
the peach air breathes
dew drips from the gate
the spangling grass sings

today- watching them watching

them getting away from it all…..round about 9 o’clock
2015 04 05 yesterday getting away from it all jpg sig
not sure if they are coming or going
2015 04 05  kinda nice 5 jpg sig
above it all the jackdaw pair
2105 04 05 kinda nice 2 jpg sig
We are all fascinated with this particular Jackdaw pair who survey everything as they hang out in their nest on the chimney over the way and also in the trees where they count the cars-
We are fascinated with the daddy’s unique white feathers on his head and front. He looks royal and is the only one like it in the flock so he is easy for us to spot!- I guess the mother bird can pick him out just as easily and see what he gets up to!

At 7 this morning ( maybe it tried before that)  the sun shone promising a nice day…..took the photo….. as it turned out the sun went in quickly and wasn’t as bright as it’s promise ….
2015 04 05 kinda nice quarter to seven jpg sig
decided to hang out at home…….

But the sun did come out in the end….in the  evening…… and for as long as it lasted it looked like a half eaten Easter egg still in bright wrapping and hiding in the trees! Yeah!

Nice chilled  but busy sort of day. The weather forecast for tomorrow is sun so with any luck will  definitely plant the seed potatoes and cut the grass (maybe)

The dove sat there for most of the time!
The sky was filled with grey cloud over the haze so when the sun peeked in and out of the cloud the mists defined the shape of the moon against the sun without the glare.
