It’s not easy being a marble
they may say you’re made of hard stuff
but you still have a glass heart
and with artistic colours running through you
you can be a sensitive soul
cobbled together with your mates
as each players dobber tries to smash you
out of the safety of the chalk circle drawn on the tarmac
and gravity can be your worst nightmare
as you balance and wobble
on the un even surface
Salford 3rd March
The engineers who design the roads
have really outdone themselves this time
in the middle of the road, the raindrops fall,
nestling in sunken tarmac pools – they look like a map of
great lakes….
Old Trafford, Manchester , 20th May 2018
Stood on the corner
at a moments attention
looking on as the club i volunteer with
engaged in a mighty test of endurance in the northwest sun
Heat making everyone sweat
as feet hit the tarmac of Manchesters roads
rooting them on, the hardy bunch of volunteers
ready to applaud and guide them toward their rewards
it might not be cash – but that medals more than gold
even taking in its colour – as every year the
roads of Manchester take a pounding

A Simple leaf , on the tarmac and gravel of the car park of #BASIC, the brain and spinal injury centre in Salford.
Fallen by the wind, or the passing of time with the coming of autumn, this humble leaf gave me another chance to create something special.
Been messing around with the monochrome as i continue in the quest to master my new camera. i like this image because of the silvery veins came popping out – all from the press of a button of my new camera.
