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.
Somebody had ‘weeded’ them I guess.
Was it because they were messy? Ugly? Bringing the neighbourhood into disrepute? Perhaps they were creating a nuisance?
I’m glad that I appreciated them while I could. I’m glad I didn’t wait until later in the afternoon to photograph them. I’m glad I am able to share what is, I am willing to bet, the only record of these little fellas in existence.
Not to worry though, it won’t be long before some of their little friends fill their gap.

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 her fortune.

I often admire these plants, so fine and upstanding. They grow so totally, decisively, upright. They do not cower even in the face of death. They are dead straight, and delicate in their dying glory.

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 of Amazingness.
Consequently, today has been designated blog start-back day and so, here I am.
This evening it is wonderfully sunny, which is quite different from the dribbly greyness of lunchtime. As a result, small puddles of water left over from earlier rainfall are now glinting away in the sunshine. Looking up through a glass awning outside a big modern building, I noticed this curvy splash of water acting a bit like a bendy comedy mirror, distorting the hard and straight lines of the building into a shapely dragon-esque beautiful monster.

The earth revolves slowly on it’s wonky axis, tilting us northern hemispherites and our trees and houses and snails and bicycles further and further away from the sun during the second half of the year.
Shorter days and cooler nights result; and, in response, within the leaves of the tilted trees, amazing colourful chemistry happenings occur.

Last sunday was the second day of my blog and I forgot my camera! Luckily I was able to borrow a camera phone, as I snuck inside the gate of a New Covenant Gospel Church, seduced by the fresh bright green leaves and splodges of pink paint…

Jumped off my bike to investigate this big little plant, and almost missed my lunch as a result. It just looked so lush and abundant compared with its little little plant neighbours.
