Many Shades of Autumn


A tall beech
resplendent in its coppery autumn coat.

Early morning leaf fall
Fresh after a passing shower.

The stately beech,
Contrasts of copper
and green.

The glory of a leaf
as autumn chills hit the air.
In dying it gives us a whole
new palette of colour.

Skies full of drama


Cold winds
Push rain laden clouds
across the stormy waters
of the Mersey Estuary.

Remembrance


The turning leaves
When dying
Bring such beauty
to the land.

Green yellows
To golden umber,
Deep rust
And poppy red.

November's sad mists
Illuminated by symbolic poppies
As our thoughts turn
To those who gave their lives.

We will remember them
As trees around us
Shed their tears
The falling leaves of autumn.

Art in a Cup


At Tate Liverpool
Even the Cappuccino
Is a work of art.

Magnificent Light


Strong cold winds pushing
Rolling masses of storm clouds
Over the beach at Crosby
In the golden light
Of a winter sunset.

Tuscan Sunset




A glorious sunset
Viewed from the walls of Cortona
End to a perfect day.
