Flights of Fancy ~ Theme for June 2021

Fashioning life from .....

Altering the shape……

Nubivagant - a strange word……

Creating something…….

Ideas building…..

Fashion and feathers……

Useful doesn’t have to mean…….

Light-hearted lovelies………

“You know what, your imagination works faster than your mind.”

~ Simona Panova, Nightmarish Sacrifice

A Family Outing

Warm spring sunshine ~ 

perfect for a lunch and a nap by the lake

for young ones that grow so quickly ~ still fluffy yellow but becoming skinny scrawny adolescents with barely visible pinfeathers, still chaperoned by dutiful parents. Under the trees by the lakeside is the perfect setting for these feathered families.

“There are no perfect parents and there are no perfect children, 

but there are plenty of perfect moments along the way.”

~ Dave Willis

On an Afternoon Walk - Sunshine in the Leaves

I saw the colour first ~

all along the walk there was

sunshine in the leaves ~

slipping back to the front yard

I was six maybe seven years old plucking a delicate flower from a long branch savouring the nectar from the soft yellow neck just as the busy bees on my afternoon walk.

“Memories were like sunshine. They warmed you up and left a pleasant glow, but you couldn’t hold them.”

~ Clare Vanderpool, Moon Over Manifest
