Under blue skies

Standard
Monday 19th June 

Under blue skies
Fluffy clouds take flight
The incoming tide
Dances with delight
Those sandy toes
Sinking in the shore
Whilst swooping gulls
Soar and explore

Wandering tourists
With thoughts so light
Simply finding joy
In nature's sight
Sitting for a moment
Their worries set free
Embracing the beauty
That surrounds the quay

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Porthmeor this afternoon
Big, fluffy clouds
Kite-flying fun
The harbour
No clouds here!
Clouds building over the Towans
Porthminster Point

Wide, open space

Standard
Sunday 18th June 

The air, a canvas
Limitless and wide
A painter of dreams
With each graceful glide
Feeling the thrill
Of nature's embrace
Navigating through
This wide, open space

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

In our garden
Much less busy on Porthmeor Beach
Low tide in the harbour
Many gulls flying over the sand
The gulls swooping and seeking out easy pickings of ice cream cornets
The incoming tide
A few sunny breaks in the clouds
Kitty’s Corner

Thinking of you

Standard
Saturday 17th June 

Thinking of you
Both day and night
In corners of my mind
Your memory burns bright
Those happy thoughts
I long to find
If only they'd soothe
My troubled mind

Love you so much

Garden roses
Blooming June

Over the land

Standard
Friday 16th June 

Over the land
The air is thick
Humidity covers
The earth real quick
Grey skies above
Heavy and close
Raindrops gather
Ready to impose
Atmosphere's weight
A shroud of grey
Envelops the landscape
In a moody display

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Warm and muggy today

Above the sky

Standard
Thursday 15th June 

Above, the sky
A vast expanse
Thoughts take flight
In a wild dance
The clouds, like ships
In fluffy sail
An azure canvas
Calm does prevail

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Man’s Head
Porthmeor West
Looking across to the corner of Porthmeor Beach
Much busier today
It’s like the height of the summer!
Lovely blue skies
Hot and still in the harbour
Kitty’s Corner

Time slows

Standard
Wednesday 14th June 

Time slows within this idyllic scene
Worries and troubles find no space
In this moment, there is solace
Tranquility reigns with gentle grace

Hazy sunshine, warm and delightful
Embracing with its tender glow
The glassy sea, so calm and inviting
Tempting all to dream and let go

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Hazy, and much warmer today
The putting green and Man’s Head
Porthmeor Beach
So still in the harbour
Antirrhinums growing tall

In the mist

Standard
Tuesday 13th June 

In the mist, a world obscuring
Shrouded in a cloak of grey
Humid fingers softly curling
Descending upon the day
This place, a canvas painted faint
With muted hues of grey and white
Shapes dissolve, their edges quaint
Lost in this opalescent light

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Yellow roses in the garden
Cloudy and grey again
Very misty indeed
Still quite busy, though
Porthmeor Beach with mist swirling over the Island
Man’s Head with Clodgy beyond

In a sanctuary

Standard
Monday 12th June 

In a sanctuary
Of serenity and peace
Worries and troubles
Find sweet release
Watching the world
Unfold at its own pace
Finding solace
In this mellow embrace

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Some of our abundant roses!
Cloudy first thing, but the sun came out later

Meandering thoughts

Standard
Sunday 11th June 

Meandering thoughts
Seeking my way
Answers swirl
Elude each day
Reality shaped
By my own view
I'll find a reason
As that's what I do

Love you so much
Precious sons

The race is run

Standard
Saturday 10th June 

The winding path ahead
Might feel rough
Not strong enough
And life is tough

So push through hardships
One by one
'Til the battle's won
And the race is run

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey, humid and drizzly this morning
