The Inkwell#CYW #MidnightBlue
Moonlight brings a spot of colour to nightime
it brings a touch of blue to a
dreamy scene…highlighting the
number of marshmallow clouds floating
in the sky around the moon
gravitating tween the moon and her reflection in the
half-light dispersed by the water of
the lake below

Reflection of a shared room (school retreat)
Keswick, 1987
Up in the hills
by a mountain stream
a place of reflection and retreat
the room shared three
with a view of the lakes
a place to ponder, relax and take breaks
colour scheme – calming
a sight of some sheep
and during our breaks we would gambol and leap
Water by a bank – image from S.C. Vincent
#Writephoto #Still
Sitting by the water , taking in the view
The inhabitants must be sleeping – i thought i’d see a few
In fact all i see is reflections, of the trees a while away
Lined up, all upside down – but seen as clear as day, while
Looking for fish, as i laze away

An acrostic of self help and photography!
Back on the corner of the quay
Really trying to grab the colours in that iconic building
Except – right at this moment – it’s not working for you
A time to step back, assess and relax
Take five , sit down and enjoy a drink of something frothy
Have something delightfully gooey and sweet and
Exhale – it’ll still be there when you get back
#fowc #reflection
Who’s that looking at you
As the image looks back
The image seems familiar
Except of course when
Ripples move across the way
My My! who is that, I call out
Inspecting the visage needing the
Razors attention in the morning
Ripples occur in the sink as the blades go in and
Out of the warm water
Razor cut hairs floating on the surface
A response to #Iscriblr’s Freedom of Expression challenge
Where I’ve come with my new hobby
It was never about capturing a moment
blink at the wrong time – it was gone
hands gripped around the camera
like my life depended on it
but then with the picture
of a simple silver garden decoration
I saw something looking back at me
in a moment of wonder
I was taking a picture of something
and taking a picture of myself at the same time…

“Reflection”
Some place, Some where
It began on a field of green
on a soggy spring day
And as the rain fell
muddy puddles splashed
as damp feet advanced
The grey soon disappeared
as speeds increased and
coaches unleashed new hurdles
Soon young minds engaged
beating Ra to the punch
and clock times were smashed
Leading to a moment
a time in the sun
where medals were gained, by leading from the front
Shining in the bright moonlight
holding her beauty by the waters edge
in the way she reflects herself in the water
maybe she will catch someone’s eye
mariners on the hunt for precious cargo
expecting to find valuables where she is
resting
A response to the reflecting prompt, taken at Salford Quays recently
Taken by me using my Sony DSC-H300 camera – using sunset mode and continuous frame.
Had a while to wait for the sun to duck below the clouds, but i’m happy with the end result and the colours in the water and sky.
Anyone wondering about the buoys in the water – this is where the watersports centre do their windsurfing, canoeing and line surfing.
