This toddler's hand Clinging to my little finger Here on a leaf strewn walk Please can we #linger Enclosed within the moment Never letting it fade to a memory #Vss365

The knife of #betrayal Cuts a cold lasting wound Infected with memories of trust A scab forms to make it A scar from our past Move on to the future we must #Vss365

Big Spring Clouds But always bluesky 17th May 2026 #Photography

We've limped over the line A three legged asthmatic donkey Carrying us fans like tourists from the Colorado river Up and over the rim of the Grand Canyon What a view #Arsenal

#Luminous yellow Oil seed rape Sucks tangerine from the setting sun sky Running past Flowers give up their scent Evoking memories of road trips over the Wolds to Filey Spring times gone As gloom develops I coast into the village Bats feast on the wing Through a lone Oak's silhouette Hawking #Vss365

Testosterone crazed Blackbirds quarter our street Heads down in scuttling bravado against invisible boundaries Slamming the imaginary gates of their own Wagah-Attari border Hearts the size of #lions, facing off against cars and all comers To defend half an acre to their very, last, breath... #Vss365
