And spring will come again,
though all the world seem dark.
The Spirit wind is blowing
where hatred leaves its mark.
Of this hope I am certain,
until the King returns,
that where the night is darkest
the flame of love still burns.

SANCTUARY

working boats ride out the storm
time to reflect
I love the busyness of these little boats. No frills, just what’s needed. Click on any photo for more detail.
WATCHING ME, WATCHING YOU…
The Nikau berries are out below the deck, and the wood pigeons are back feasting. This one was watching the dog through the window so I couldn’t go out on the deck without scaring it away. Of necessity, therefore, I had to take photos through my rather dirty windows. They are such beautiful big birds.
SECOND SIGNS OF SPRING
Couldn’t resist this – Lavinia Ross asked me how Bert was enjoying Spring…
hooray
the sun is shining
and we’re off to find Spring…
SIGNS OF SPRING
HANGING VALLEY
This photo by my lovely daughter is a perfect example of a glacial valley, where once the ice extended down to the sea. Often called ‘hanging valleys’.
remnant of an ancient age, earth-shaper
AFTER RAIN
It’s been raining all day. Water streams down the drive and the dog curls up in a chair with his back turned to the weather. Just for a moment in the late afternoon a watery sun lights up the leaves and reflects off raindrops.

before the dark
SHADOWS
green shadows
in rippling water
tide patterns
