Sunslant and bird shadow



Today is a sunshine and shadow day, a bee buzzing birdsong day, a butterfly wing and blossom day. Today is a day when sharp bird shadows run fast across the ground like mice. Today will be a day of heat and languid rest. So we walk to the hill top in the slant light of early hours. And we walk like a string of ginger pearls, like an abacus of cats, like a daisy chain.













And on our return we look for a place where the sun has spread out a warm shawl for us to curl on.
