quiet moments in nature
a place to sit
beneath the trees
with deeper hues
autumn breathing in and out
this peace, this peace

Wishing you all a peaceful Wednesday and Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in the US tomorrow,

brimming with a lust for life
a cygnet
swimming beside his father
spring’s first hello

at home
in the water, on land
a cygnet grows
strong wings, white feathers
autumn’s first farewell

The most spirited and independent of the seven cygnets has flown the nest and we wish him well on his new journey.
