Blue Forest
------------
Now the woods sleep,
Dreaming secret dreams,
Before a sweet awakening.
A turning point between turning points, mid-way between the solstice and equinox. We can slowly come out of our winter slumbers and direct our energies to new beginnings. But those dark nights still beguile.

Happy year of the Rabbit (a bit late!)

Part of a Winter Woods project that seems to have found me!

Hidden Moon
--------------
Though hidden sometimes
Cloaked in clouded darkness
A light still shines.
The first full moon of the year is apparently called a Wolf Moon, apparently named after the howling of hungry wolves lamenting the scarcity of food in midwinter.
Last nights moon was hidden behind the clouds so not visible where I was, but still shining whether I could see it or not.
In dark days it can be hard to imagine the return of the light, but the light is there - waiting for the clouds to clear.
Winds of change

Shed the skin of 2022, shake out your hair and welcome 2023.
Happy New Year!

Finally got me.
Coming out the other side now thank goodness.
Solstice sunset
---------------
A surrendering sun sinks
To dance in the darkness
Before rising again.
Rear Window
———————
The ice on the car window created new worlds
Depth of field
-------------
Depth is hard to judge
When shadows are hidden
By sparkling surfaces.
Baby its cold outside
----------------------
(and a bit chilly inside too!)
Frosty
------
Frost freezes fingers
But warms the heart.
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
