winters calling,
in some ways, the mercury retreating was
notably a sign from the thermometer
travelling swiftly toward the bulb
even the food has changed from salads to
roasts and shepherds pie
Seasons
Tears of a cloud
Nature, Poetry, Seasonsmother nature announced
the end of summer
the winds went wild
and the clouds went through
a stream of emotion
anger and upset
lightning bolts thrown in major league tantrums
many of them sobbed
as their tears fell to the ground below
Cooking off hot stones
Cooking, Poetry, Seasons, Summerthe mercury rose again today
over at the campsite….they don’t need a match
just a circle of stones baking in the mid morning sun
plonking the pan on top and waiting
waiting for the small drop of oil
to start sizzling.
Summer days
Nature, Poetry, Seasonswhite fluffy clouds make their way towards the sea
while cool winds come in off the western coast
butterflies take in nectar
from the yellowest of daffodils
while birds blend in with reds and blues
on the hunt for the grubs for lunch
Summers Hello
Poetry, Seasons, Summer#Promptuarium #Earlymorning #Summer
An early morning acrostic by inky
Summers Mornings
Unusually found the Son up before
Mum and dad
Maybe its because he
Expected the smiling sun to
Reach beyond the curtains and say hello
Prolific : Tale of a tree

Salford 19th April 2018
My “little” Acer tree, in the back garden of the house
beginning another set of flowers to signal Spring
We bought it from a garden centre in the pennines , quite a few years ago now, and planted it alongside a couple of dwarf conifers and perennials to give the back of the house a bit of colour!
It was caught out by a really hard frost and snowfall in March, when it should have flowered then. The mercury in the thermometer refused to budge, so it slept on till the Easter Holiday, and while i celebrated my birthday – one or two of the flowering buds popped out to say “Hello!”. Soon it’ll be covered in lovely pink and white flowers, and (Northwest English Weather permitting) they’ll be there to brighten up the back garden all the way through summer and early autumn – when it’ll lose its foliage and it’ll prepare itself for the following spring.

Winters night
Poetry, Seasons, Weather, Winteryou could call it crisp
its definitely dark
stars in the sky night twinkle and spark
out in the distant carpet called space
each cluster of stars don’t seem out of place
and standing like statues,
they watch as snow falls
creating their flurries that land soft but tall
Open
Poetry, Seasons, Sport, SportsAs the competition began to place
The audience and judges shivered in their space
As a young guard, who’d never done the job before
Created a draft inside on the competition floor
Now this might not be bad for contestants so bold,
But judges observing were getting a cold
Said head judge to colleagues, as he spoke to all
I think next year, it’s summer not fall
And sending out messages to stewards away from floor
I know it’s an open…but someone please…shut that door 🚪

Clouds – a reflection from inky
Now living during autumn 🍂 in the north of England, you tend to see a few of these.
When the wind makes its way east or west, they tend to follow its path
They’ve got funny names as well …. cumulus is the cloud ☁️ shape they use on the tv weather forecasts
When they expect a change it goes from a white cloud to a rain 🌧 cloud, if there’s a chance of sun ☀️, they put a cloud with the sun behind it…⛅️
The long thin ones are stratus, whilst the fast movers are nimbus club these together and you get nimbostratus and the really big ones cumulonimbus (don’t like being out when they turn grey)
Falling leaves 🍁

Two leaves, lost by the trees in Autumn, and used in an arty sense! Photo: BFK
Autumn is a little bit odd for a deciduous tree
you see whilst the evergreens are keeping their leaves
the deciduous trees are getting ready to lose theirs
and slowly their leaves turn from green
to yellow, to red and then brown
and as they do, they drift in the air
before landing on the ground
