BeautyScope 460 : Treehugger

late evening sunlight

life long friends stand highlighted

happily entwined

BeautyScope 459 : Grass warriors

shining swords 

press upwards

through rock

fed by rays of sun

BeautyScope 458 : Mind Shadows

awake early

I try to remember 

the wonderful poem idea

that threaded my mind

last night

but the remnants of sleep

cloud it out

and I gaze, entranced

at the sunshine filled wall

entwined with shadows

BeautyScope 457: City dance

 

sitting in my treehouse bedroom

watching the traffic dance

as it swishes

and sways

around corners

seeing the skatepark ballet

of courage

and near misses

gazing for hours

at the tiny construction ants

as they pull a building

from the ground

I feel privileged

beyond measure

to have this life

BeautyScope 456 : Evening gardens

 

Walking in the gardens

Winter sun setting

Hearing evening bird calls

As they flit overhead

Finding dinner.

Noticing

A tiny flower

Peeping from a bush

And leaves glowing red.

Feeling cooled by long shadows

I turn to be dazzled by the sun.

Blogging woes and BeautyScope 455

 Hello my dears,

I have received a notice to say that Blogger will no longer be supporting the email feed I had. So until I can sort out a replacement we will have no emails for the dozen hardcore fans who signed up. Apologies for that.

And to add insult to injury I have managed to erase my sidebar while playing with things. So will have to work on that!

Here is a new BeautyScope for you.

how amazing that a splash of water

will open the door

between worlds

Love,

Jazzy Jack

BeautyScope 454: Keep cup liberty

today I first used

my keep cup

in a cafe

it's surprisingly hard

to offer it up

waiting for the stare

of disapproval

or disdain

it's surprisingly hard

to do something

outside the norm

and yet don't we all love

dramatic gestures?

grand flourishes

make us smile

like the Captain Cook water jet

I am looking at right now

leaping and floating

in the air

a spectacular point

of freedom

BeautyScope 453: Calling for rest

feeling restless

I wander my devices

scrolling app after app

calling for rest

but all the world

is ignoring me

so I keep scrolling

even louder

but no one hears

...

maybe I'm in the wrong place?

BeautyScope 452: Stories on the wind

the car tyres whistling

on the road above

blend seamlessly

into she-oaks calling

stroking and caressing each other

telling their stories on the wind

the wheels yell and race

dashing about

then segue into a plane droning on

down near me the river laughs

and bulrushes snigger

with their rough rustle

then suddenly a warning note

from a bird sweeping by

...

I went for a walk

met no-one there

but everything spoke to me

BeautyScope 451: Seashell remnants

 

a scribble of shells

abandoned homes

plethora of pattern

magnified sand

BeautyScope 450: Light sparkles

from deep inside a stony heart

a seam of light

echoes wonder

BeautyScope 449: Stretchy spider's web

rocks stretch

a spider's web apart

its strength is revealed

BeautyScope 448: Miniature sandcastles

piling grain on grain

light on light

a home is formed

BeautyScope 447: Floral devourer

feathery tendrils

sweeping air currents

precarious insect home

BeautyScope 446: Bird flight

come fly with us

the call comes clear

feel the wind

drift into the air

BeautyScope 445: Forest floor

underneath

the fresh green forest

the light is scarce

starkness

BeautyScope 444: Seat shadows

lines and shadows

carve up my sight

which way is up?

where shall I sit?

BeautyScope 443: Seed grenade

we threw a ball

it returned

a grenade

of spiky seeds

BeautyScope 442: Lizard net

lizardy toes

climbing our net

undulating highway

BeautyScope 441: Spider flower

like a spider

or a sea creature

it sifts the air
