JUST SITTIN’ IN THE SUN…

LIGHT IN SPAIN

Tried to capture the light coming down between tall buildings in Spain.  I photographed the painting twice – once in artificial light, and once in daylight.  The second is probably closest to the true colour of the painting.  I always find it a bit difficult photographing these paintings…

BLUE DAY…

WASHED CLEAN

We’ve had a stormy night, thunder and lightning, not to mention torrential rain.  So exciting to just lie cosy in bed and listen to the rain drumming on the iron roof, and watch the lightning flickering against the clouds.  For a while this morning we have had a little sunlight, which always looks doubly bright after the darkness…

FROM THE HILL…

Been up to Hamilton for a family wedding (can’t post those photos yet as the official ones aren’t out) and visited our daughter in Whakatane…

…the view from their home is superb, especially when the sun is painting the fields with gold,

but also when the sun is sinking.

 

PAINTED HILLS

FIFTY SHADES OF GREEN…

fifty shades of green
adorn our morning walk
sunlight on rippled leaves
and water
some other kind of love
poured out upon parched ground

PEACE…

from the trees
thistledown falling
like rain
summer snow

…and joy to you all

DEEP BREATHING

breathe deeply
under the morning canopy
savour the moment
that we have
while all the world
goes mad

SUNSHINE

tree shadows
painting the grass
summer love
