#advent #candle #christmas
Creating light out of darkness
A sign of new things to come
Now that advent is underway each
Decorated candle will be
Lit bringing light to the house and as
Each candle is lit, Christmas comes closer

Saturday morning, and I’m pondering the next shade of colour in fees fun foto challenge
lime green
now you say lime green to me, and my artistic thoughts go directly to the fruit bowl
But limes nowadays seem much darker in tone than what I’d normally associate them with….you would have to split them open to get the colour you were looking for
But a quick scan of the kitchen cupboards soon reveals this light green colour. In a packet of custard, or perhaps pasta or even strawberry jelly (strange but true). For the doubters it’s the one in the green packet…
lime jelly ? An acquired taste.
and outside in the garden, the trees have more of a lime green colour to them than the actual shade of a dark green lime
look again… and the outside of the lime is hiding in plain sight…
Some call him a shadowy figure
If you look at the wall carefully enough and
Look, you may just recognise him
He definitely has a definable shape
Of course – you would have a problem catching the real him
Unless you find the door or window that’s casting his form
Even then – he may be standing far away
The Moon casting his form on the wall
Take a look behind you – there’s nobody there – he’s
Exited the room under cover of darkness
bubble rising
up high in the
blue skies, floating and
bobbing about in the air
light as a feather, and bringing a smile to
excitable little faces
particularly important
as things go, the way the tram lines
rails are aligned
as they have to be a certain distance for the
light rapid transport to be powered by
electrical lines
leading off to the destination ahead

It glows
lighting up the darkness
for all who seek the light
colours brighten the morning sky
produced by insects that do fly
up the trees and plants around
feeding on nectar, without making a sound
to others they brighten a darkened day
but they’re happy to just fly around and play.
Salford, 2nd April 2018
Radiant in the dawn of sunset
a candle lights the darkness
dim at first, but getting brighter
illuminating the building with its brothers and sisters
as power goes – it gives a torch a run for its money
not to mention the electricity grid
the fuses die ? – out comes the candles
Bright as a button
Rounded to perfection
If you look carefully at the way the
Light falls upon it you’ll see a rainbow of
Lights falling to the floor
It’s a sign of its perfect cut
And quality
Nuptials assured – a sign of love from groom
To Bride
Funny thing is this fame game,
you confidently cross the wooden stage
prepared for the task in front of you
only to be hit by that beam of light
casting a huge shadow at you
Its like the light
is a giant magnet
wiping clean the act
nothing left to do but perform the other routine
along with the fourteen prat-falls as backup
