Terracotta pot
Decorated terracotta pot from outside. Our money plant got too big so it’s in this enormous, heavy pot now.
I’m glad in a way. I love the flower decorations that are on the outside. If the pot was outside in the cold and frost they might crack and split if ice got into it.
I need to see patterns, if I don’t, if everything is plain, I get bored! I don’t know why. Some people like clean lines, simple colours, bare walls.. I don’t.
Tiny diamonds
I ccan’t work out where the diamond ends and the surround starts. I tried zooming in, but the image is too fuzzy so I duplicated it several times. I think the setting is meant to look like flowers. Anyway it makes an interesting pattern..
At the waiting room gallery
Photo taken by a friend at the waiting room gallery a few months ago BV, (before virus). He’s reading, I’m tapping away on my phone. The surroundings makes it look like an old painting. Although it’s in a gallery I think it looks like a domestic scene. I love the atmospheric look of it.
Sunny for a while
Light at this time of year is always low. Striking across the ground rather than high above it. This is because the Earths Northern hemisphere tips away from the Sun. So much so that the North Pole dips into darkness in the winter months. Shadows are long now and when you do get into sunshine the light can be blinding from the Sun on the horizon. You can look for images of the suns track across the sky at different times of the year. It basically arcs round from East to West but tipped at an angle dipping more South as winter progresses, then from the winter solstice around the 21st of December, it starts to slowly work its way back up the sky until its almost overhead on Midsummer day at midday, then the cycle starts all over again.
Flowered photo
I ddrew the green spike of our amaryllis plant and romised to post a photo. This was the first of four flowers on the spike. They came and went over a week. But as they faded another flower spike has grown up! Soon two or more flowers should be bursting out. I will try and take a better photo this time.
I have three old plants but they haven’t grown up yet. I think they need more water and our house is probably too dry at the moment.

Sequins
Like fish scales
My sequins glint
In the afternoon sun.
Shiny and smooth
Bright and glittering
Ripe for a party frock
Or a Christmas jumper!
Alien…?
Dont look at me
with your alien eyes
hidden in the vegetation.
Your spaceship
hovering above.
Exploding clouds
hold your menace.
Making life
frightening
for the world
take your face elsewhere
the world needs peace
not warrior’s eyes.
Morning View
Reasonably early in the morning, for once a bit of blue sky peeping through. Giving me the feeling that the sky has been washed clean. My windows need cleaning so they are covered in specks of dust and dirt. I’m sure a bird has flown into it a while ago, there is a dusty mark… At the village hall I once saw the outline of a pigeon that had hit a window. Birds have a sort of dust on them that helps protect their feathers. That’s what leaves a mark….
Sunset glow
I just found this photo from a year ago. When we had a series of clear cold nights and the sunsets were amazing. This was taken at Alsager mere I think, although you can’t see many reflections on the water (mere is another name for a lake for example Windermere in Cumbria). I remember driving home after this and banks of fog were drifting across the road as I got close to home.
