Scudding clouds

Standard
Saturday 15th July 

Scudding clouds
Paint the sky above
Their shadows cast
A darkening thereof
Passing showers
A brief caress
Raindrops whisper
Their thoughts express
A tempest's realm
Of nature's display
Moments of chaos
As tree branches sway

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Truro cathedral
Victorian Gothic
The main front entrance

Rhythmic droplets

Standard
Friday 14th July 

As those rhythmic
Droplets fall
With gentle cadence
And whispered call
Nature's orchestra
A tranquil refrain
Wanders through
The wet terrain

Love you so much
Beloved sons

In this haven

Standard
Thursday 13th July 

In this haven
Where time suspends
Peace within the soul
Hitherto transcends
The heart finds solace
A quiet reprieve
As the spirit wanders
And learns to believe

Love you so much
Precious sons

Harbour views

Where’s my head at?

Standard
Wednesday 12th July 

Where's my head at?
Lost, adrift, and alone
Drowning in the ocean
A tempest unknown
Thoughts swirling, crashing
Like waves in my mind
Seeking solace
But that's hard to find

Where's my head at?
Somewhere lost, it may seem
But I'll rise above
As if in a dream
In the face of adversity
I'll find my way
Let the glow of hope
Illuminate my day

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Dodging the showers today

Bedraggled roses

Standard
Tuesday 11th July 

Bedraggled roses
Battered by the wind
Rain filled blossoms
Deadheads are binned

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Heavy overnight rain and strong winds…..
Left many roses on the grass
Battered and bruised
But many remain
Porthmeor Beach
A busy afternoon
Surf School students getting ready to try out their skills
Blue skies after the rains
Calm, blue sea too
Children have fun on the harbour sand
Harbour boats
Clouds are building

Letting go

Standard
Monday 10th July 

Letting go of the notion
Of how things should be
Opening the heart to what is
Simply wild and free
The present moment exhibits
Many treasures untold
Embracing life fully
As protecting arms enfold

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Before the rains came….

In this world

Standard
Sunday 9th July 

In this world
Where chaos reigns
Where worries weigh
Upon frazzled brains
There lies a place
With soothing motion
Somewhere near
Beside the ocean

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Porthmeor Hill, down to the beach
Blustery, with fluffy white clouds
The harbour
Looking pretty this afternoon

The golden hour

Standard
Saturday 8th July 

The golden hour's
Gentle sway
Twilight paints
The fading day
The sunset hues
Ignite the skies
Embracing all
With fiery dyes
The sea reflects
The vibrant blaze
A mirrored canvas
So lost in a daze

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sunset yesterday evening
Dark gold hues
A very still sea
Swirling clouds
People on the beach at 9pm, still so warm
Porthmeor West, this afternoon
The Island
Quite a low tide today
The harbour
Looking towards the Towans
The Trinity House Galatea, a buoy laying vessel, anchored in the bay
Boats, ribs, skiffs, tenders, all lined up on the sand
Blue skies peeping through

The sunshine is back

Standard
Friday 7th July 

The sunshine is back
Its radiant face
Peeking through curtains
Of the clouds' embrace
When they blow away
All worries untied
Revealing a canvas
Where fantasies coincide

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Sunshine and fluffy clouds

In the realm of dreams

Standard
Thursday 6th July 

In the realm of dreams
Where those expectations lie
Finding ourselves lost
And wondering why
Life's unpredictable ways
Can sometimes obscure
The path we'd envisioned
Of which we were so sure

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

St Ives this morning
Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
The harbour, with a watchful seagull
Visiting yacht
Not too many on the beach
Towards Kitty’s Corner in the background
