On my way to the shops to buy some carrots (on the off-chance that it will snow again and I shall build a snowman in need of a nose) I discovered these crinkly-edged paving stones, decorated with frilly inside borders, as if inscribed by an unsteady hand. It got me to wondering. Why would the [...]
It seemed like no time at all since I’d been gazing out into the darkness of the daytime, excited by hail noisily battering my windows, the whistling wind whipping up the trees, and lashing rain streaking sideways at a 45 degree angle from left to right. But gradually I noticed it had grown quiet, and [...]
I love these times: after a deluge of rain, the clouds form a little gap for the sun to shine through, and the whole world glows and glistens in response. Plus, there are always plenty of puddles lying around; gateways to a parallel universe. The trick is to not step in any by accident, but [...]
During a break from the rain early this evening, I popped out on a little mission to join my local library. Raindrops were still dripping from trees and awnings, and the pavement was wet and glistening. I spied this leaf as I walked quickly past it…but it wasn’t more than a few steps later that [...]
Minutes after an intense and lengthy bout of rain, during one of those magical moments when warm sunshine breaks through the menacing dark-grey rain clouds, and the whole world responds by shining super brightly in its wetness, I was drawn to this little plant and his reflection. Thanks to both the sun and the rain, [...]
With caffeine-alert eyes masking a somewhat shaky interior, this young lady may struggle slightly along the way, but is definitely going to enjoy Monday.
There has, most certainly, been a lot of rain recently. It doesn’t make some people particularly happy, but it sure is good for these little plants. Under the cover of rain, whilst the general human populace strides by purposefully, with heads and rain-blinkered eyes pointing firmly forwards and downwards, and thoughts focussed on indoor shelter, [...]
Today, at 1pm, I photographed these little plants. I really liked the classic green and grey combo shining brightly, as colours do after rainy times. 3 hours later, I checked back. I felt confused and disorientated. They had disappeared! Literally. The crack was completely empty. No more lovely little plants, no more beautiful bright green. [...]
Whilst waiting for the bus this evening, as the puddles swelled around me from a day of constant rain, I spied a pavement bobble, cleverly disguised as a water bubble, off to seek his fortune.
It has been rather a long time since my last post. I’ve been out of the country on an amazing Indian adventure! But I’m now back in London, and, equipped with a new amazing blogging device (an iPhone), I’m keen to get back into the swing of blogging again, and the discovery, enjoyment and sharing [...]
