Willow, willow

Nature’s abstraction

Willows weep

Barn doors

Manmade in perfect balance
Colours of the sea and rocks
Adrift in the landlocked farm

Dawn sunlight

A splash of sun
on willow
reverberates through the ripples

Octagon Ely

uplifting glory
brilliant light in ascending vault

Messing about

At Shiplake Lock, Thames

Tranquil Thames
quiet celebration of
our alloted span

Landscape in a wall

Seen from above, the fields
of lichen and stone
lead the imagination

In black and white
the lesser redpole
delicately made by a countryman
(thomas Bewick)
