June Memories

 Pink clouds looking West;

 

 

Memories - Fair Isle - Sea  pinks

 

 

March peace And Spring Lambs 

 

WOB 

Has Spring/Frühling risen?

 We don't have the snowdrops reported from England and Germany but this afternoon I saw  flowerpots  through the snow!

 

 

 

 

 And when I looked about I saw a gazibo also poking through!

 

 

Sure signs of Spring,

 

sigh,

 

 

WOB 

Did March enter as a lion or a lamb?

 Baby, its cold outside! But if the sheep have not been shorn then

Shearing Your Sheep  is a must before lambing.

The Ettrick Shepherd doth speak.

On the other hand, the lion's teeth are not far away:

 Can almost feel its breath. 

Meet me in April - WOB

Ever wonder about us birders

Of course you have - we all have.

 

And rightly so - the secret is now out:

 

 And 24/7.

 

Takes one to know one,

Sincerely,

Wise Old Bird 

Best intentions gang aft a-gley

 Some felt that simply the page of 5 poems was enough:

And that these two pages didn't add anything:

So having started the illustrations for fun, here are the last

three for you to enjoy, I hope.

#3
Sea Pinks along the cliffs
Nesting with Puffins, Fulmars,
Nature Lovers smile.
 
#4
Sea pinks on the rock,
Fair Isle coast in salty wind,
Pink cushions hold fast.
 
#5
Sea pinks shimmering -
Dewy droplets lovers shed.
Fragile strength embrace.

A comment. With 3 poems in this entry there is a reason to think of 2 cases: one - all 3 poems were written by WOB and then #1 and #2 must have been written by HAL  which of course means:

HAL's name, according to Clarke, is derived from Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_9000

Or there are mixed authors for #1 and #2  and also for these last three poems. Take your pick and let me know your thoughts, please. What could be simpler? Well, not writing is also simple, sadly.

Rainbows and Puffins

 #2
Rainbows on hill tops,
Puffins reigning supreme.
Glad am I for this.

 

 

 

Indeed,

WOB 

June 20th, mainly, 2025

 #1
Coastal windswept home,
Pink spheres on slender stems sway,
Salt air, sun-drenched life.
