  1. A sort of summer poem.
    I may not be posting too much over the next ten days or so, as a happy family visit takes place.

  2. I was going to post a more grim poem, but I wrote this one yesterday after talking to my friend Carmi, who was also born in Jerusalem. And then, coincidentally, Penny read me something written by a person who rescues cats in Jerusalem.
    Jerusalem stone famously has a quality that can be called ethereal, in the way it reflects the light, especially noticeable at sunrise or sunset.

  3. We have an olive tree grown tall and full of leaves, and sometimes in the wind it shimmers with breath.

  4. What was sort-of being said at our weekly cafe meeting yesterday morning of three aging writers who should know better by now than to get too philosophical on a warm summer’s day…

  5. This is in response to a ‘prompt’ from the previous session of our poetry group: a picture of a small red hooded figure stepping onto a giant hand with a large jewelled ring on one finger, and a giant full moon overhead, also in red.
    I found it a bit disturbing, so came up with an ‘antidote’ scenario.

  6. On seeing an Italian renaissance painting of a group of saints, with gold and silver leaf. Popolo is people in Italian.

  7. I am in awe of people who manage to keep their body and soul in balance - not much to say in my case, I’m afraid…

  11. It was very hot last night (again) and the pigeons were doing a lot of shuffling about in the olive tree in the dark outside the window, and then were up to their loud billing and cooing at dawn (again). Bloody birds.

  12. This could be said for any of us living on our dear earth today, but it was written for my American family and friends on this 4th of July.

    Happy Independence Day y'all, despite it all!!

  13. A little love poem - also, in memory of those times (how recent!) when the light was still getting longer each day.

  14. Over these recent hot clear evenings I have been keeping an eye on the new moon's progress. [It also gives me a chance to show off a new word I have just learnt!]

  19. 1st Bleed Control Kit at #IsleOfWight to be installed outside #Nationwide Building Society Branch

    The plans form part of a major initiative by Nationwide Building Society to provide #defibrillators and #bleed control kits at every one of its branches by the end of the year, making it the first banking provider to carry out such a scheme across its entire network.

  20. O the many walks I have taken in the Jerusalem hills, up and down in a widening arc from the city going west towards the coastal plain.

  21. Last one for today.

    I've only ever known my husband get to more than one location on a photoshoot on a couple of occasions. Usually there's just not the time.

    Last night/early morning he visited 6 different places on the Island. This is #ComptonBay on the #IsleofWight

  22. This is my choice for January in our 2025 #IsleofWight calendar.
    #ComptonBay

    My husband who takes the photos much prefers other shots from this session but in my view this is the most suitable for the calendar. Looking at the mock up he's happy with it 😁
    January is always a tricky month, the calendar needs to have an impact from the get go. I wouldn't want to look at a dreary image for the most depressing month of the year.

  23. The wreck of the #SSCarbon at #ComptonBay on the #IsleofWight
    Taken at low tide a couple of days ago. This little tug boat was wrecked in 1947.

    Fortunately there was no loss of life as she was being towed away for salvage at the time.

    I've had (and made) some pretty amazing vegan cheesecakes... all without the assistance of Facebook!
