Though there’s no blue sky
You can always find the sun
If you care to look

heavy with spring’s sweet nectar
is a gift to share

I’m not in the habit of entering competitions, from past experience it’s a recipe for disappointment for me. However, this weekend I was encouraged to enter a photograph in the ‘nature and wildlife’ category at the local village flower and produce show (mostly because I wasn’t up to entering a painting and the rest of my art group were tsk…). Anyhoo… hey… whatdayaknow… I won! Not exactly international success or fame and fortune I know, but nonetheless, I was quite chuffed, and got a certificate and everything!! So here she is, the lucky little lady:
Sleeping Beauties

Taken at Daneshill Lakes a few weeks back!
A Haiku to the apple on my tree
Crisp, green and juicy
When will you be ripe enough
for me to savor?
Bewildered
We may be numb with sorrow
Yet the bee still buzzes
And the birds still sing
