Sky, clouds, blossom…..the complete set! There’s a real sense of movement as the clouds scud across the sky. The blossom seemingly lifts its offering and promise to the future, in days of fruitfulness. Holding promise, bursting forth, the weaving of light and soil and life giving water. Drawing deep, drafts of air; life giving andContinue reading “Blossom time…”

Doors are fascinating, and I came across this one yesterday. It looks a little battered but still performs a function. The outside latch is wonderful, along with the rather rough iron hinges. It appears to have no lock and it seems to be waiting for someone to open it! The wall adds to the thoughtContinue reading “Wall and door….”

….Or perhaps not! Built in 1674 on Flamborough Head it was replaced by a new lighthouse in 1806. It was an attempt to warn shipping of the treacherous coastline and the need for caution. It still stands proud, even though it no longer has a purpose. The key thing was to have a light thatContinue reading “Light on….”

I took this photograph in a ‘stumpy garden’, situated in some wonderful gardens nearby to where we are staying. There were any number of these carved faces which really caught our attention. The unexpected experience of coming across these carvings, had us full of questions and imagining. As we moved, the faces morphed into somethingContinue reading “Unexpected”

I just had to capture this scene whilst we were walking around a garden, open to the public, yesterday. My words seem as though they might get in the way, but I have to say something! The sense of the power of life, bursting through, activating the growth of the tulips as they rise fromContinue reading “Nature’s pallete”

Herons, I reckon, are great ponderers! I have no massive catalouge of observation to back up this bold statement, but they do seem to hang around waiting a lot of the time! Perhaps they are gaining backgound for their next novel?! Now you are being stupid, Barrie!!!! I would say from experience, that pondering isContinue reading “Pondering…”

The heading speaks of the photograph I took last year. You might have been bemused to see poppies in flower…sorry. Yes they are out of time, but I love the sense of anticipation that this photograph gives me, and hopefully does the same for you!! It whispers to me about the power of waiting; theContinue reading “Out of time….”

The dawning of the day could be another title for this blog. The photograph was taken last year when I was awake in the early morning! The lighter clouds look like outstretched arms, offereing a welcome to anyone who has time to stop and reflect. The sound of creation is for me the profound silenceContinue reading “Beginnings…..”

The scene at the bottom of our garden a few days ago. The movement of the sea and the clouds interweaving and creating an ever changing scene. To be honest it is a story in itself; every moment . It’s a kind of mirror into our own souls. The constant movement of what I callContinue reading “Movement”

The word ‘Trust’ has been popping into my consciousness ever since I woke up this morning. I came across a quote, which I think describes how I feel; ‘Faith is trusting in God even when you don’t understand the plan.’ I’ll leave you with it. Back tomorrow! Blessings and peace, Barrie.
