#fowc #upbeat
Salford, 16th September
U know what it is
Picking up your step to the
Beat of the rhythm and bass
Even singing a bar or two
As you stroll through the park
Today’s a great day – keep moving to the music

Making my way through Maps

Salford 25th July 2018
If i could go back to school, to master a subject – i reckon it would be Geography i’d do
Not English or History (even though i’ve got an interest in those subjects) – Geography.
You see, even though i’ve made my way through the toughest routefinder map, i still have my doubts how all those lines determine height and depth. It would interest me no end on how those maps of mine translate to modern day life.
It might also fill an hour (or two) of my day. with some unofficial field trips to the pennines and lake district 🙂
Out in the back garden
Poetry
I sat open mouthed
as i watched the goings on
taking place in greenery
facing the kitchen
In an attempt to claim
a tree in their name
two or three white butterflies
engaged in aerial combat
Flying past the window
and around the roof
soaring to grab
their place on the tree
who won the contest ?
that’s anybodys guess
maybe we’ll find out
when the caterpillars hatch
Catching the Breeze

Best of arbory friends
Residents of the local park
Enjoy the gentle winds
Easing around their branches, a
Zephyr ? occasionally,
Enjoying catching a kite in Mid-air

With the appearence of what seemed to be the slight raise in the mercury, i decided to walk down toward the local park and take a couple of snaps with my trusty Nikon D3100
Trees in the Park
Sun Peeking through the Apple Blossom

Spot to Rest
It’s your choice!
Holidays, Life, Outdoor Pursuits, PoetryLife is a long branch of events and choices
some shy away from making decisions
whilst others grab the bull by the horns
climbing the rockface
or in some cases – jumping off it
So – when it comes down to it
the decisions you make are yours
will you dip your toes in the shark infested sea
or play russian roulette with crusty crustaceans on the beach ?
all those decisions – are down to you
Grasp

going uphill on the
rocky sharp surfaces of a cliff
arms stretched out, reaching for the nearest
safe hand hold, clinging on as you ascend to the
pinnacle….enjoy the view when you get there
Ode to a cactus
Garden, Nature, Outdoors, Poetry
Once only found in Desert sand
a gardener decided to hatch a plan
developing a succelent
that’s happy at home, as well as gardenment
living in pots of sandy soil
whilst in the heat other plants toiled
this funny green plant, just grew away
amusing those in the garden at play
flowering in the sunshine smile
the cactus kept children amused for a while
as they spent the passing hours
counting his blooming colourful flowers
and being shorter than his bigger kind
the cats and dogs they didnt mind
for when their paws did feel a prickle
they smiled – for the cactus – kind of tickled
Ascending
Outdoor Pursuits, OutdoorsAs you head up the hill
Something carries you on
Crevices becoming the perfect hand holds
Engaging with the rock
Noted men before you have attemped this face before – but
Deny you your moment of glory ? not a chance!
In fact – they’ll be all hearing you yelling your achievements
North to south, East to West – as you
Get to the summit top
Orchid

Over most of the globe, this
Right royal plant with its majesty of blooms
Can be found spreading colour indoors or outdoors alike
Happy in a pot indoors or outdoors
In the expanse of the garden, its
Delicate flowers bring a smile on special days
