Incoming Storm

Saturday afternoon at Crosby beach

The weather changing

Dark clouds laden with rain

Sweep across from the Welsh Hills.

Colour

The vibrant colour of this hydrangea

Attracted me to take a photograph.

Although it was a brilliant sunny day

This bush was in shade,

Yet glowing with light

from reflected sunlight.

I love the way the leaves

Graduate their colour to match

The flower's shading.

Wonderful Skies after rain

Crosby beach,

The air, clean and clear after rain,

Clouds gently dispersing

Aflame with orange light

From a golden setting sun.

Rain Laden Skies

Churchyard at Kilcash, Co. Tipperary, Ireland

The clouds gather

Oppressive and grey.

Across the valley,

Distant Comeragh mountains,

Green and sharp in the clear air,

A warning of rain on the way.

Festival Gardens opened

Liverpool's Festival Garden site has reopened

Water features abound

Soft greens and wild flowers

soften the margins.

Lilies float on the water

Reminding us of Monet's art

Which is currently at The Tate.
