Trees in the city
---------------
Urban textures and nature collide.

Mellow

Feeling a little more mellow after two weeks of frantic activity at the Abstract Rhythm and Blue Notes exhibition in Whitstable.

Even the rain is joyful
---------------------
When friendship fills your heart
Even the rain
Is joyful
A joyous few days in Whitstable for the opening of our Abstract Rhythm and Blue notes exhibition (@arbn_exhibition) at the Horsebridge Arts Centre. @thehorsebridge
This exhibition is the culmination of a year long inspirational artist development programme with Doug Chinnery (@doug_chinnery) and Valda Bailey (@valdab), which was conducted over Zoom during the pandemic and involved artists from around the globe.
Coming together to hang the exhibition was the first time many of us had met each other in person - an emotional and very special time for us all.
I was also staying with an old friend from University days (@deesphotographykent) so extra special.
The weather was atrocious - but somehow it didn't matter.
Heading back there for next weekend - the exhibition is on until 28th November.

In the dark days of winter
Sunshine has to come
From inside

Bus Stand F
------------
Liminal space
of clouded dreams
waiting and watching
Possible start of a new project ....

Pier Lace
---------
had a lovely few hours in Brighton today - it's almost impossible not to photograph the West Pier when you are there, looking so resplendent in its decay. Anyway this is my take on it as it slowly becomes one with the sea around it.

Alchemy
---------
By some unseen magic
green is transmuted
to gold
Burnished and glowing
dressed in finery
for the last dance.

Autumn begins
---------------
leaves prepare
for their dizzying fall
time to let go

The spirit flies
----------------
Amid pomp and ceremony
Grief for one is grief for all
A symbol in death as in life
We pin our own sorrows to her,
Tears brim unbidden on lashes
As we remember those lost,
Each in our own quiet place
Of stillness.
A passing gift
A final act of service.
We grasp memories knowing
In those silent minutes
A spirit now free
Must fly.
