Texas hill country
Brew, Boots, and BBQ at Hondo’s
2017
Frosty cemetery at Osney
Pitt Rivers
Seal intestine cloth
Emu egg
Whistling arrows
Lantern
Random sights, Oxford
I look up to meet
A fearless, demanding gaze.
I set out some crumbs.
But the scarf will stay forever
window reflections
2016
More driving about,
This time with navigator:
Other drivers fume.
2015
The non-Botticelli Ascension....musicians et al
Tate modern and St Paul's
National gallery close ups
2014
A haiku to Daytona Beach:
We walk towards beer
And burgers. Later, fireworks
And the Tilt-a-whirl.
2013
Trees in wintry light.
We ponder mortality
And then taste some wine.
2012
Nature does it best.
A field mouse ice palace on
The Illinois plains.
Drifted blizzard snow,
Though dry, can be sculpted. But
I'm no Goldsworthy!
2010
Dave made me Thai soup
With lots of ginger, and I
Could breathe once again.

2009
Post plane flight, I sit, 
Sneezing and watching TV, 
Smiling at our tree.

I made eggless quiche. It's water hemlock , A deadly poison. The horse Nibbles around it. 2014 They mated, hatched and flew. The left-behind shell still clings. It's a metaphor. 2010 The dam was breaking, We sought high spots. I wake, fogged. Perched, the cat's grooming. The bus commute is So much more pleasant today. School's....out...for...summmer!

2019 Droitwich Appeals that succeed: Who could resist this sweet face? Plus, it stops the barks. This is a public footpath, leading straight to the Hadley Bowling Green Inn, my walk’s destination At this point the path disappears: I take the tractor road skirting the field I was covered in tiny burrs after pushing through this hedge Here I get locally made ice cream I take the road back Droitwich flowers Sweetest scent ever climbing a British hedgerow 2018 I’m buying ice cream “Thank you for eating healthy” The cashier tells me. Progression of a storm: we watch clouds piling up, enjoying the play of light on the rocks. Back at the library, we hear the rain and thunder. Then....hail?! And a heavenly scent of bruised plants. My poor Forester is out in it, hood open to keep the pack rats at bay. Minor flooding. So far. It’s been going on for an hour. Ice is melted, but rain pours down still.

I'm not watching golf. Old boy Chip and I Both wanted to doze inside. Young pup dragged us out. At the cricket pitch, Modern day circle of stones On the windy hill. The hill ponies leave, So we take a look around. It's a bit smelly. 2015 Taos hosts Meow Wolf Spider: Market behind him, Striding towards Taos Mountain; Can't he smell chilis? 2014 For a year I've passed a rustic sign, posted on Hwy 14: "Potter, 400 yds," with an arrow pointing west. Finally followed the arrow, and discovered New Mexico's Best Potter for 2014. Wonderful work, both art sculptures and functional pieces.
