Tuesday; Nature's wonders;


Honey Bee collecting nectar and pollen; My Garden;



Lavishly golden,
 liquid sunshine held in tiny, waxen  chambers. 
 The  fragrance of  flowers and harvest, warmed by sun, wind and rain,
 nectar collected diligently, 
transmuted into  the sweetest  of sweets,
 for sticky, little fingers to lick and savour,
  this wonderful alchemy of  nature.

Monday; Aahh...




Aahh… close your eyes and dream of an island in the sun;
 idly succumb  to a delightful dream;  a closed book in your lap,
 the soft tap
 of  a slow day rolling by. Aahh…
