Saturday afternoon – and beyond the double glazing
On tune, northern birds are belting out one hell of a tune
Note – this isn’t the female humans here – but the
Graceful sounds of our feathered friends singing above.

In the time’s of this nasty virus
It’s very good to know
Mother nature’s sent out a message
and the birds have said hello
For while we’ve been in isolation
our friends with their wings have flown by
to give us some pleasant distraction
from the news that’s been catching our eye
Each day they’ve come out from their nests
where nearby trees they’ve had their rest
and flew around in a bit of a show
before off to their nests they would go
Sat on a roof or a nearby tree
landing in bird baths happy as can be
and enjoying the garden all for free
taking home worms for their tea.

Carefully crafted, from trees that now surround it
a place to get away from the strains of modern life
blessed with a wonderful view of the lakes and streams
in sight of nearby provisions, a short ride away
not forgetting some wonderful animals

The place where blue meets yellow
crafting colours seen in the most vibrant of gardens
lawns and evergreen trees line the garden path
being a canvas for other colours in front of the house
and yet you could paint the perfect picture
with the various shades of leaf, from tree or flower alike
#Fowc #Few
Happy is the humble helicopter seed
that make their way from their parent tree
and land in fresh fertile soil
to grow and prosper
for many are chosen for the journey
but few actually succeed
#coloryourworld #CYW #Fern
An acrostic for the Fern Colour on Tourmalines Coloryourworld challenge
Flowing fronds of green
each one coming from a central point
reminding me of an octopus or squid –
not squelchy, but just as many arms!

Haunted forest ?
a likely story !
up till now – she’d believed the tales her brother told her
not realising ,
the creatures in their homes in the trees were
even more frightened of her – and in the
dark – it was just the forest creatures looking out
#CYW #Desert #Sand
Drifting in over land and sea
enveloping everything it passes
sand from the sahara travels on the wind
easily passing over land and sea
resting on roofs, cars and even plants
the succulents smile – they’ve seen this before
Soil looking more like blackpool than old trafford
as grains land on the turfs and lawns
notable how the gardener greets it though –
drainage is improved by this helpful visitor
#CYW #Cornflower
colourful flowers crowded on the corner
cared for by the colourful yellow insect
collecting copious cups of nectar
checking each and every petal to
create honey from the cornflowers, back in the hive

6th November 2019
Coming from two trees that hold its name
Horse and Sweet varieties exist
Each Autumn kids can be found playing games with conkers
Sweet fare created from the conkers sibling
Tartlets and pies and they’re even used at the Christmas table
Note however – you can’t eat the conker
Unless of course – you happen to be a squirrel
Though its easier if you find one – to plant it for a new tree.
