I want to share a poem with you which you won’t find anywhere else online (I’ve looked!), it is to do with the dawning of the modern age, when machines replaced horses and carts. It speaks of a certain connection with nature becoming rather displaced in that process. 
THERE WILL BE NO MORE HORSES

On a blazing hot day I don’t seek a crowded beach or to lay in the blazing sun. I am not a child of the sun - I have no wish to soak up it's rays.  However, I am forever grateful to the sun for the light and life it brings (as I am grateful to the wind and my beloved, the rain).  On a blazing hot day, I can’t think of a better place to be than ( Read more... )

I had a lovely five-mile walk yesterday; the sky was a rich mix of dark moody blues with sliver white light breaking through here and there. I have not seen the sky like that in a good while. It looked lovely down by the two big ponds I found on my walk yesterday. I enjoyed watching the water, and looking up at the big sky. I saw a number of happy ( Read more... )

Sadly didn't get as many photographs as I'd of liked because I forgot to charge my proper camera’s battery up, so I was left using an old camera of mine for the most part (which goes flat very quickly, and mostly takes blurred photos!).

I spent a glorious hour and a half at Broomfield, Richmond Park yesterday. I do not know if I have mentioned this before, but the park has different sections each with a given name. Yesterday was my first time on foot from Broomfield Hill.

As the car drove through the park to its final destination, I saw a great number of deer at very close ( Read more... )

I had a lovely hour to myself walking around Gunnersbury’s Park in the rain yesterday. I really didn’t mind the rain in the least even if I had no hood and only a light weight coat. It wasn’t very cold out, and the rain was fast falling but gentle, I love the feeling of it falling onto my head, getting my hair wet, and the feeling when it lightly ( Read more... )

I took these photographs about two years ago, maybe, three years ago. I was on a visit to Horsenden Hill, which is located in Greenford. It's strange how I have not been back since, it's only about four miles away from where I live. When the ground isn't muddy underfoot I will have to go back there. Spring might be a good time. It's a good steady ( Read more... )

I love ivy, the way it tails, the way it claws its way across the ground, it goes where it pleases, its stems so strong and wild. I love it's pretty dense foliage of green leafs that turn yellow, red, or tan browns as the cold comes to feast on plants each winter. I remember when  I was a child; the description of ivy within a bedtime story filled ( Read more... )

I really delight in the rich and beautiful colour of this time of year. The park was beautiful yesterday evening. The autumn leaves of yellow, pale green and red now lay sleepily under the trees. I could see red berries upon some bushes and on the floor around others. Red berries always remind me of Christmas. I wish I could feel the same way ( Read more... )
