It’s a classic late summer day. Strong warm sunshine and deep blue sky with sparsely spread voluminous clouds that rise vertically up into the air. Shreds of cobwebs are lit by the sunlight and lie taut in a mesh of random pathways that disappear into the shady corners. They are the rite of passage for small spiderlings to seek out brave new worlds. Everywhere is dappled and bird calls and bees resonate on the breeze that sways the glass lanterns dotted around the garden. I am content for a little while to forget the working day and think of nothing that could cast a shadow on this moment. A feast of tranquillity to melt away the statistics, reports and meetings. To see the light and smell the air...to live or at least understand why we do so. To feel for a brief time that I have all the time in the world.

Hope you like the picture of the geranium and the video to listen to the birdsong. Have a good evening.
