Too icy to even consider a stroll
Victorian tenement, “Wally” close
Willow Tea Room and Chinese Tea Room: Mackintosh designed.
I may be in the Tannahill Weavers 50th anniversary selfie!
There’s nothing subtle
About 5 pipers piping.
It’s braw and stoatin.
Another abstraction
2017
A bitter wind whips
My scarf. I want to fly it
Through the whorls of cloud.
Last weekend, today.
Snow is predicted both times.
Heisenberg is right.
2016
The moon shines brightly.
I shop for ten minutes and
Emerge into snow.
2014
The dust whirls upwards,
Obscuring the huge elk herd.
(Where's my camera?)

The train parallels
The fabled Santa Fe trail;
A dusty dirt road.

2013
Some people visit
Santa Fe for the art stuff.
We like gelato.
Luscious, sweet, intense:
Mendelssohn played by the great
Rachel Barton Pine.

2011
She's been watching me
For over an hour. I think
I'll feed her early.

In 48 hours
I will officially be
An idle person.

2009
So how was the trip?

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. So much for sunset kayaking. 2017 See separate post for all the Huntingdon Garden pix.  I...

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.
