The Christmas tree lights twinkled
as the girl stared under the tree
bright shiny gifts propped around the base
like supporting stones
expectations fulfilled ? perhaps – but
there was always something that
santa didn’t deliver – leaving an air of disappointment
#MLMM
The lightest of things can bring the darkest moments
coming back home from dancing the light fandango
light as a feather you ascended the stairs
like you were floating on a cloud
angelic thoughts turned dark as you took flight
travelling through the air from a stray marble
on reflection – it wasn’t a good idea to let the little uns play Ker-plunk…
#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
#Napowrimo #Room #Dorm
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”
Newbold Verdon, 25th December
The nephews replaced the alarm clock
As the Santa clauses smiled
Dashing down the stairwell
To see what the real Santa had brought
Toys and gifts from far and wide
Bringing smiles to little faces
Before watching a film while
Tea cooked away in the oven
And a special something cooked upon the hob
