She walks – the lady of my delight –
A Shepherdess of sheep
Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white;
She guards them from the steep;
She feeds them on the fragrant height,
And folds them in for sleep.

Mountain View
How wonderful it would be if this mountain and lake view was a reality but if you look closely you’ll see it’s a perfect example of trompe l’œil, nature having its little joke I wish it was real!
You’ve been framed!
Something to brighten up a grey rainy day. I love the way the foliage frames the view over this farmers field. As I leaned on the gate to steady myself the light changed so rapidly that I took a few photos of the same scene. Each one is completely different in its kaleidoscopic feel but the framing on this particular shot gives it much more depth and so it’s the one I’m sharing with you. I use a meditation app and it often reiterates that there is always a blue sky behind the clouds and this is a perfect representation of that belief.
Suncatcher
Another optical illusion in that the sun, having been captured within the branches of the tree, appears to be suspended over a rolling slate coloured sea. Taken from my usual position perched on a brick overlooking the neighbours garden (apologies neighbour but you have the best view!).
Serpent in the sky
I love this photograph because it’s reminiscent of frothy sea foam on a stormy day and central to the drama a sea serpent rises from the depths.
