Most times wandering through nature and life, hiking, biking, music, the simple things in life are best.🌿

A twisted old hawthorne tree, I suspect this was once part of a hedge that has long since gone feral 🌱🌳

A tall, leafless tree stands in the center, surrounded by other bare trees. The view looks up from below to the top of its crown. The thick trunk is covered with ivy. The sky behind it is clear and blue.

a collection of owls arranged in yin and yang formation, i.e. one with head turned to the right, with one eye showing, the 2nd owl in the circle upside down and facing towards the first owl, also one eye showing prominantly. There are also some stylized blossom with five petals. Linedrawing, black and white, Maria Strutz

Season off kilter 
#harmony no more. 
Leaves lay bleeding
upon nature’s floor.
Air stills days
endless breath. 
Silence of wing
ashes they glide 
then fall.
Cracked earth.
Tree smothers 
cinder it lies.
Summer keens 
death of blues.
Painted grey.
Earth dies bereft
of her hues.

Looking back to this day in 2023 when the cemetry was covered in a blanket of snow.

Walk with me
Into the light
Into the cream soft sun

Walk me alone
Over the bones
To the land where we're still young

I promised you whole worlds that day
You promised me nothing new

Now I'm in here
While you're out there
Still searching for Winter blue

Walk with me Into the light Into the cream soft sun Walk me alone Over the bones To the land where we're still young I promised you whole worlds that day You promised me nothing new Now I'm in here While you're out there Still searching for Winter blue

I drove half way across the country to visit an ancient cairn and also went to this forest in Meath. The fog followed me there and I walked this forest path in the first light of the day.

The Old Place of Monreith (AKA Dowies and the House of the Moure), built by the Maxwells c.1600 and their home before buying Myrton Castle from the McCullochs.

Old house
stood silent
Held witness 
#spellbound
decades of dust.
Walls peel pain
seeping red rust.
Recollections amplified 
Child’s sobbing
heard from afar.
Small hearts
that wept.
Shadows call 
gather dark.
While secrets dream.
Most oft of despair
than any happiness.
Its rooms may have seen.

Beautiful wood anemones are starting to appear so I’m looking forward to seeing lots of these very soon.

They spread slowly and are a good indicator of ancient woodland.

There are also some in my little shop

A view of a flat field, hedge and boundary, an early spring sunset, one side is covered in crops, the other has been extensively worked by a tractor, with deep ruts in the mud.

A hugely busy week, but one in which I actually managed to get out and do some (very experimental) community archaeology and gather lots of data with a volunteer colleague. The moonrise over the North York Moors was a sight to behold. This sunset wasn't bad, either.
