Salford 11th January 2019
The street looks empty
as the curtains opened
to another day
But up in the tree
opposite the house, someone
feathered is watching
Keeping an eye out
for the dropping of breadcrumbs
In a neighbours backyard
Trees
Plain sight
#octpowrimo #hidden #dragons
the mighty dragons didn’t disappear,
reality is…they took a different form
each knight giving up their quest of vanquish as
every dragon decided to rest among the greens
Seen hiding in the forests, or swimming in the depths
Things people grow
Selection of things grown – around the house

Light green moments
Salford, 8th September 2018
Saturday morning, and I’m pondering the next shade of colour in fees fun foto challenge
lime green
now you say lime green to me, and my artistic thoughts go directly to the fruit bowl
But limes nowadays seem much darker in tone than what I’d normally associate them with….you would have to split them open to get the colour you were looking for
But a quick scan of the kitchen cupboards soon reveals this light green colour. In a packet of custard, or perhaps pasta or even strawberry jelly (strange but true). For the doubters it’s the one in the green packet…
lime jelly ? An acquired taste.
and outside in the garden, the trees have more of a lime green colour to them than the actual shade of a dark green lime
look again… and the outside of the lime is hiding in plain sight…
Toy Story

Salford 6th September
I can see them now
scattered around on the floor
those little bricks that stuck together
some square – some rectangles
some red, some yellow, some blue, some green
we made trees and houses
for the little lego people
that rode around in the cars
on the stubbily green grass outside the house
we’d just built
Geometry.

Close up of a gate at Ordsall Park in Salford – I like the shapes!
The Gates were installed as a “New” entrance to the park

Trees in a Line
Core
Central to most trees fruit
Oranges pears apples or bananas
real safe centres … some soft some hard. Most
Edible, but the centre and their pips are quite woody
Same Park, Different Walk
Salford, 10th May 2018
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
Nest
Near to the top of the tree
eggs are sitting in their little bed of twigs
safely in a huddle until
the time arises to hatch – with a little help from mum and dad
