Silver Birch
Snowy branches glow
Against vibrant golden leaves
Dancing in the breeze

The Perfect Gift
My childhood was full of bumblebees, flowers and butterflies and long Summer days. These were very happy times, which are etched on my memory. My Father took my brother and I out into the countryside regularly looking for frogspawn, picking blackberries and telling us about the wonders of the natural world. While out on these special trips nature was all around, filling my world. Blackbirds singing in the trees and dandelion seeds floating on the breeze; a magical time and experience. These special times gave me a love of nature, a place to feel safe, happy and content. I will always be grateful to my Father for his time and dedication to give me this special gift;
“a love of nature”
Here are two quotes about nature;
“If you truly love nature, you will see beauty everywhere“
Vincent Van Gogh
The Perfect Gift
“The most perfect gift you can give to a child is the
life-long-love of nature,
the only cost to you is time.“

Curlew Calling
I heard the curlew calling this morning as he flew above the moor.
A wonderful sign of Spring
Curlew Calling
An eerie song from a distant rise,
Curlew calling the song of the wild.
Mysterious and haunting; music to love,
A beguiling silhouette, glides above.
He searches the moor for a suitable site,
To build a nest in a place, just right.
Again he calls to his mate close by,
A courtship ritual as they soar and fly.
Early Spring, this time of year,
Curlews delight with their song, they share.

Bees
I saw the first bee on the meadow this morning. A soothing and relaxing sound.
Bees
Man needs bees to live
to pollinate plants and trees
save them or we fade
