Postcards from Paradise #6 Fashion Fandango

Sun sinking low in the studio,
thoughts turn to our own
fashion fandango ...
Do I go red? or gold?
Oh, the pleasures of paradise
at least for a few days!

May Day today and the return of
our
little house martins,
they made it
all the way
from
Africa!

All that distance to find this little island,
this little hamlet, this little cottage,
how clever is that?

Speaking of talent, I'm in awe of the incredible skills shown by all the artists
who have so generously given of themselves
to support Rebecca in

Gorgeous color contrasts Sue! Decisions, Decisions. I love that you are thinking of fashion trends and fun, and that gold lame torso in the photograph is to die for. Stunning! The Red Hibiscus Flowers are Magnificent and as glorious as May Day should be. If I am not mistaken, House Martins are from the Swallow family are they not? Back in the 80's there was an English indie pop band (a bit marxist in tone which is right up my alley) called The Housemartins. I doubt they were hanging round the cottage though or it would not be the peaceful place you love so much. Happy May Day my dear. Thank you for your beautiful images.
Love,

dear sue,

my cat has suddenly jumped on my desk and his head is draped across my arm. i can only type with my right hand. did you know i am left handed?
he is purring so loudly, can you hear him? i am not sure if it is the arrival of your house martins or his affection for colour and kindness that drew him so close.
but then everyone i know that knows you, feels the same!

i love you sue, happy may day!

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who  used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could  see the black dog had turned up too and  that I was completely at his mercy. She made her leave with a simple kiss and goodbye,  "hope he goes soon", I nodded in agreement. For when he's around he completely  demands my attention and there's no shaking him loose! On retiring I sternly told the black dog I didn't understand the reason for his visit and that I thought I had sat with him for long enough  and to be gone in the morning! *** I've not seen him so far, this morning thank goodness !!! It is the beginning of a brand new day,  I am grateful for each day of my life...   I was at a funeral on Friday,  to say we'd anticipated a sad day all turned out most beautifully.... my favourite hymn was sung 'Morning has Broken' On this brand new day I'm sitting here tapping the k...

My Silken Altar

The reflective image below is one taken of my south facing window,  which is more like an altar to me because of the ever changing light that allows for embracing the moments of silent connection and praise. I take many photographs from this window as I marvel at the sun's energy  to illuminate or in this case reveal through shadows and reflections. This image has been sitting in my file for sometime, it has a hidden message for me that  I knew would one day surface...    Heart broken open by the mystery of you... love stitches together.  Gentle love rides pain like silken thread slips through jute spring balm for raw edge. Stitch with silken love the polarities of life  embrace the mystery... Sending to Rebecca for healing... Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
