New paintings and regular art updates.
In months my garden
will be aflower,
floral fancies,
blooming anew.
But sadly now
the sight is of grey hue.
Cold sprigs of twigs
leaden coloured,
deadened stems.
Give them some sun,
some warmth
some food?
Then they will improve their mood.
I wait and cry
with many a sigh,
Looking around
For colour on the ground.
Daffodils and Tulips
Crocus and Snowdrops.
Then Bluebells and Violets,
will stir the air,
colours will flare!
Brighten the world,
set bees abuzz,
and waken my love,
of nature.
The sunlight sneaks in
Through the cracks in the door
Through the chinks in the fence
Under the trees
Through the blinds
Past the steel reinforced concrete
Over the brick wall
Tumbling down the chimney
Through the grid over the window
When it’s sunny
Sunlight finds a way.
My biggest orchid is getting a bit rampant, it’s ariel roots are slowly growing across the cupboard. The smallest one is gradually dying. I think I need to give its roots a bit more air and fresh orchid medium. The middle one seems OK although it’s flowers only lasted a couple of weeks. The house isn’t very warm (usually between 18 and 20°C, sometimes as low as 16°C) but I’ve made sure they are not in a draft. I found out they like to grow in clear plastic pots, they like the light getting to them. I’m planning to repot after the flowers die off… Any advice about ariel roots. Can I cut them back…. I don’t want to damage the plant.
Twelve Swans a swimming, paddling, gliding, multiplied by four in my layout app. From light to dark blue, srartling white feathers, getting all your swans in a row, photo….
Your whiskers are lovely
Your personality?
Bubbly…
Come say hello
With a loud miaow!
Cat with cattitude?
A great attitude.
Attempting to sniff
And find out, what if?
I have a tasty snack,
for your tea!
You glitter and gleam in the light,
Swimming in your tank,
How I wish,
You could be free…
Fish!
Two years ago this is what I wrote on Facebook :
“Missing two black and white cats, in our house, somewhere under or behind the furniture….hopefully they will emerge when they get hungry. Hubby has been looking for them half the night. I keep telling him that will just scare them more…. I don’t know whether to get one of those plug in things that gives off a calming scent for cats?”
The photo is of the female who I hadn’t got to know as they had only been here for two days. At the time I didn’t know she was pregnant with four kittens (who we successfully rehomed). She is now very happy living here with her brother. They don’t hide, they like us now. I did get some of that stuff that calms cats down and it worked.

Pattern with ducks.
I just liked this. Not only the ducks, but the pattern they make. Dancing ducks, a star of ducks, funny duckies.
Swimming upside down, floating in mid air. Life gets interesting when you play with photos.
Goodnight.
Taking photos of your cat?
Be sure to be quick
Or they will move…
Fast, blurred, speedy, slick..
But if you set your shutter speed to fast,
You might catch them
In the
Act!
I always know that the year is turning when there is still light in the sky at 5pm. I noticed it more when I was finishing work at 5. I loved coming home in daylight. It makes me feel that there is time to do more with life. I think I get too entombed in the winter… So yay for the return of sunshine!
