blossom on the wind

blossom on the wind -
behind the line of fruit trees,
a line of sheep

tomato seedlings:

tomato seedlings:
the gardener pulling up weeds
in the afternoon sun

How still her face is

How still her face is as she applies gold-leaf to the statue...

spring green leaves on the plum tree;
its delicate branches wave like kelp in the ocean

Yellow tulips!

Yellow tulips!

Seen from my window:

Floating like incense in still air - lavender blue smoke from my neighbour's chimney.

Next-door's summer house

Next-door's summer house,
its faded wood - the colour of moisture starved soil.
Leaves of the cherry laurel tremble in the breeze.

on the bathroom windowsill

a bud as big as my thumbnail,
the embryonic orchid flower,
a sliver of its pink heart shows.

Found at the bottom of the fridge...

like tufts of white down: mould on the bottom of the swede
