Winter ground still hard –
Window left to move tanks well ~
All eyes on the Front.

Old Mahonia –
Yellow racemes catch my eye ~
Bumblebee’s also.
Child in the manger –
Bringing Good News to the World ~
Just need to listen.
Boosted for Christmas –
Joining fellow pin cushions ~
A gift from Science.
Leaving the Tunnel –
Solstice marking turning point ~
Brighter days ahead.
Orchid buds again –
Despite some studied neglect ~
Sleeper awakens.
Well kept whitethorn hedge –
Denuded but for berries ~
Winter signs of life.
Add baubles to tree –
Leave the glass ones off this year ~
Curious kitties.
Like Rivers to Sea –
We find our way in the end ~
Often with some help.
Assess storm impact –
Sheet of ivy torn from wall ~
Wind at work for me.
