Pretty little things.

Walking along the river bank, I am compelled once again to stop, to stand and stare. I am reminded of the poem by W.H Davies

Leisure

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?-

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

Remnants of old signs that can just be read on the side of this former wine merchant's building; now the offices of a local architects' practice.

I wonder if the garden is as nice as the steps.

After a stimulating day i saw this as i walked home and felt calm again.

Walking to today's gig in the morning sunshine. Sometimes called the bellflower: I'm not certain which particular kind this is.

Even in the rain this rose remained steadfastly beautiful.

There's a corner of a paddock where these grow. The birdsong nearby is beautiful.
