Posted on Tue, 08 Jul 2025

Thank you. The photograph was taken about 9 months ago. I know it's not clear, but her legs are even thinner and more frail now, I think she had fragile bones even when young. So the warm invitation to sit on her lap, was very poignant. I think...

A lovely description of an early morning glimpse. And then the transition to the solidity of the cows, but also very special. Many town children haven't seen a cow. When you first meet them they do seem very big!...

Posted on Thu, 27 Jun 2024

But the stems are worthy to hold up those flowers, and not take the praise from them! I like the 'octave' of scents and 'scale' of  colours. In the spring as we drive around I love the vista of so many different shades of green, many so fresh...
