Moody - Me?

You know I'm one for these
moody sunset images
don't you?


This is not just any old sunset view though!

It's the most beautiful sunset view ever?
 The beginning of our very own pond,
not only will it be a haven
for wildlife,
but a saver of domestic animals  too!
Foxes
I mean us.
This pond will be an overflow area 
for when our stream floods and hopefully
it will fill this bowl and not our home!

Actually it is quite exciting,
I dare not think about it too much,
it's huge, takes almost all of our field.
The National Trust are paying for it as part of a
larger flood defense project, but the pond is
situated on our property, we would have
never been able to afford anything like this.
The possibilities are endless, we
could float a boat on it!

I grew up on a piece of property in upstate New York with a pond on it - what stellar memories I have of my childhood there! It is huge...I'm excited for you!

Tell you what Sue... it's about time, isn't it? 12 years? OMG.
I'm wondering if you could ask the EA to add some fish to it and that might make your property even more attractive! They fund stuff like that - so if the concept appeals to you, feel free to contact me and I'll get you contacts!

Wow...how wonderful! to have a pond on your property. Besides the help with flooding the wildlife that will come should make for many many years of beautiful images and memories!

my darling....
i am an ocean girl. i grew up next to the sea and all my moves took me up the coast to wilder views in northern california.

family matters set in motion my land locked move to the mountains of prescott, az. the two ponds right outside our doors and favorite windows are my solace. now i will think of you on the cusp of such beauty as i drink in the peace of light falling on the face of ponds.


i am so happy for you and the foxes!

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
