Life goes on around us
And we don’t always see
That the beauty we take for granted
Is there all the time
It is not just there for our pleasure
To pick up and put down again
The universe has its own time frame
And it is nothing like ours
If we could only stop and realise
That this is who we are
A small cog in a great wheel
That allows us on for a ride
Now and again
Just accept that we are part of it
Accept that we are all one

When we take our photographs we are there maybe just for a moment or for a few hours. Perhaps we might have stopped on our way to somewhere else, maybe recognising that we need a moment to gather ourselves after a stressful day before we go home.
Nature gives us this time, this beauty. It gives us this reprieve because we are part of it. But we also have to remember that it is still there when we are not, and the natural world will carry on without us. It is a grounding exercise to realise that we are only one small part of this planet, and that our time here is not forever.
But the fact that we are a part of this world is a great privilege and the beauty around us is to be enjoyed and savoured. We all have our favourite places to visit and this is one of mine, where I know that at certain times of the year the sun will cast its light under these two yew trees, and the universe rejoices.
This image was taken in Wilmington Churchyard, East Sussex, UK.
And I have paired this work with Greta Van Fleet’s beautiful song “Meeting The Master”.
Nothing could be more apt.

Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) ☄ as seen near Pyramid Hill on 22/1/2025, 10:06 PM (AEDT). Westerly winds during the previous days had created a lot of airborne dust and delivered thick smoke from the Grampians bushfires. This created some difficulty finding a suitably clear sky, but in return, it created very dramatic sunsets.
