The troubadour seeks hellibores
As his muse,
He visualises a heart wreath made of
Velvet warm petals, meek rose pink
Twinkling flowers and snow whites in fine fettle:
A delicate meander of pattern and colour.
From his medieval stone garret,
He weaves his words of love and valour.
Spring splashes
Between weary evergreens
And lean stretching trees.
A golden brook of
Daffodils lyrically babbles
And violets hide in every nook,
Adorning the woodland floor.
Spring’s door has gently opened,
Surprising us and giving
Hope.
Yesterday, even though the sunshine didn’t manage to peep through the clouds, spring’s door had opened with its perfumed breath. Joyously, we walked through an old Victorian park in Bedford, chatting and taking in the splashes of emerging colourful buds and flowers. It was a beautiful day. Thank you nature and thank you friends for putting up with me diving about taking photos. 🙂
Winter crystals like
Shimmering tinsel;
Fizzing sherbet on dark
Lush leaves.
Silver stars on a golden sceptre:
Towering crispy seeds.
I took these photos in my garden this morning because when I looked out of the window on a crystal dusted winterland, I couldn’t resist rushing out to capture the moment. The winter in England has been so mild this year, it’s so very special to have a frosty morning. Enjoy. 🙂
Cerulean cornflowers
Sedately soaring like
Sapphire stars;
Touring tourmaline
Skies.
An old Egyptian legend tells us that tourmaline, on its way up from the centre of the earth, passed over a rainbow. So that’s why it is still referred to as the ‘gemstone of the rainbow’.
Toumaline in crystal therapy is known to heal the mind.
Lofty Lavender,
Softly wafting.
A procession of
Purple pinnacles.
Silky,
Willowy,
Waving.
Forgive me for my lack of posts just lately, my mum isn’t very well and although I find my walks very relaxing, sometimes I feel too tired to post. 🙂 I took this photograph in a beautiful garden in Benington in Hertfordshire, I loved the procession of lavender and the sculpture through the archway.
Soulful roses,
Lover’s tipsy posies
They sip dewy petal potions
As their rouched lips
Whisper
A tryst…
Betroval.
Chintzy courtyard,
Ritzy lilies,
Hints of lemon tart
Wistfully wafting,
China chiming,
Parchment parasol shadows,
Jelly coloured geraniums,
Mellow ruby port hydrangeas,
Sweet pea treats,
Tea rose wreaths.
Faded flame
Darts like a
Ragged mane.
My son gets married on Saturday, so as you can imagine I’ll be very busy over the next couple of days! So I’ve taken a quiet moment, while my dogs lie asleep to reflect on a few beautiful moments of spring. My son is getting married to a lovely Scottish girl in Edinburgh. The celebration is to be held at a Scottish country home and estate, so I hope to be capturing the essence of that beautiful day and location and share it with you next week.
Amazing Amethyst floral display,
Whimsical,
Mysterious,
Blazing,
Star gazing.
A glorious array!
Happy blazing June, at last. May the sun shine on all of us!
