Lundy Island
Ilfracombe by sea
MS Oldenburg, supply ship runs every other day. Carried 157 day trippers and brought back some overnighters
Shadow selfie
There’s an oyster catcher on a rock...trust me
Field of Bluebells
Castle And light house
Hiding
Ran out of juice and time, so the sound of the meadow pippet and the sight of sika deer and highland cattle are missing. And puffins were absent

I went with the Wicked Wolf

2014
An apricot rests
On the edge of the earth, then
It rises swiftly
What does it mean when
You commune with a dolphin?
Early morning dream.

Whoever decided it was a good idea to compress breast tissue between two cold plastic levers was a sadist and probably a man. But I got to see these cool trees on my way back to the parking garage.
Got up at 6:10,
Walked, drank coffee, marked music.
Now I want to sleep.

Her eyes, liquidly
Looking up at me, tell me
She's glad I am home.

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.

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.
