Sunshine playfully dances

Standard
Wednesday 6th September 

The sunshine playfully dances
Over slow rolling waves
Creating sparkling diamonds
In hidden, high-vaulted caves

Amidst the azure expanse
Soft, swirling clouds extend
Delicate swathes of tulle
Where billowing winds suspend

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A calm harbour this morning
Porthmeor Beach
Still some good waves
Man’s Head
Not so crowded today
Wispy, cirrus clouds
Clouds like mares’ tails
Coronation flags still displayed along the Wharf
A pretty afternoon

The mind reminisces

Standard
Tuesday 5th September 

The mind reminisces
Amidst realms of chance
Creating moments
With each fleeting glance
What if paths taken
Could be retraced?
If only mistakes
Could be erased

In the land of 'what if?'
Hopes take flight
Unfolding futures
Vibrant and bright
'If only' thoughts
Echo the heart's cry
Yearning for a place
For time to defy

Love you so much
Beloved sons

Porthmeor Beach
Offshore wind creates fun waves
Still lots of people around
Lifeguards are kept busy
The harbour today
Self drive boats

Better days beckon

Standard
Monday 4th September 

Better days beckon
With a gentle embrace
Sunshine rays painting
Tomorrows with grace
Colourful brush strokes
All over the place
A vibrant landscape
Swirling in space

Love you so much
Precious sons

Sunny St Ives this morning
Lifeguards on duty
Still busy, even though the school holidays are over
Very warm on Porthmeor Beach
Colourful harbour boats
Low tide
Darker skies, with the sun trying to burst through

Hues of blues

Standard
Sunday 3rd September 

Hues of blues
Amuse and enthuse
Views to choose 
Snooze and schmooze
Shoes to lose
Peruse and refuse
News to diffuse
Bemuse and confuse

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Azure blue seas around Man’s Head
A bit quieter today
Last day of the summer holidays
Blue, blue skies

No hurried steps

Standard
Saturday 2nd September 

No hurried steps
Or frantic pace
Just moments stolen
Held with grace
A pause to breathe
To let thoughts flow
And find the solace
As time does slow

Letting the hours
Pass with ease
Embracing the stillness
With a gentle breeze
For in these moments
Finding our way
To recharge, to breathe
To face the day

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Looking down on the harbour this morning
West Porthmeor
A busy September Saturday
Enjoying the sunshine
A much quieter harbour this afternoon
Saturday regatta
Reflections
Hello from us!

Dark clouds
Silver lining

Down the hill to Porthmeor Beach
A long line of cloud over the beach
Blue seas
Dark clouds over the harbour
No rain, as yet
Blue skies behind
Swiftly incoming tide
Us, standing next to the lamp-post
Young seagull

Slumped branches

Standard
Thursday 31st August 

The slumped branches
Burdened low
With glistening tears
That freely flow
Across the fields
Raindrops weep
Where bedraggled
Sodden souls sleep

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Misty, drizzly, showery all day

In dark shadows

Standard
Wednesday 30th August 

In dark shadows
Hope finds its way
Brighter tomorrows
Come what may
Through stormy nights
And a cloudy haze
Better days await
Beneath sun's soft blaze

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy, but muggy today

Wistful

Standard
Tuesday 29th August 

Amidst wistful thoughts
The mind takes flight
Scrolling through memories
Both day and night
Onwards and upwards
A journey unwinds
Moving towards hope
As life softly reminds

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives, Cornwall

Everywhere

Standard
Monday 28th August 

Everywhere I am
Your presence fills the air
In whispers of the wind
I feel you there

Everywhere I know
You're my guiding light
In the darkest of days
You're my beacon bright

Everywhere I journey
You're my faithful friend
In each step I take
Our love will transcend

Everywhere I breathe
A shimmer of your grace
In the morning's golden rays
Your smile I do trace

Everywhere I turn
You're my constant muse
In the joyful laughter
My heart does enthuse

Everywhere I look
I know you're close someplace
In every breath I take
Your love I embrace

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Looking over the rooftops to the Chapel on the Island
A busy Bank Holiday Monday
Still quite breezy and cool
High tide in the harbour
Looking towards the Lifeboat House
Kitty’s Corner
Busy on the slipway
