As Sweet As… Look, See, Pray

May 31, 2024

Bees find it apparently irresistible. How sweet the nectar must be- not much in each single flower, but en masse it is seriously attractive. … More As Sweet As… Look, See, Pray

Who Is Winning? Look, See, Pray

May 23, 2024

Our “short” history is full of pain and struggle; the interminable conflict of the war for our soul forces us to cry out for help. “How long, O Lord?” we scream at the heavens. Who is winning? … More Who Is Winning? Look, See, Pray

To Be Revealed- Look, See, Pray

May 17, 2024

So often we are frightened of change. It is unsettling, uncomfortable, and usually beyond our control… … More To Be Revealed- Look, See, Pray

Problem Solved- Look, See, Pray

May 9, 2024

To me, the duck is striking a pose like Batman about to launch… or the Ghost Busters facing another grim ghoul with ramshackle “inventions.” Duck-Busters! Will this catch on?

Life in Miniature- Look, See, Pray

May 2, 2024

It looks like a Death Ray from a fancy sci-fy movie… “Revenge of the Beastly Borage.” A tiny flower, the first of the hairy cluster to shine forth in brilliant blue with the purple centrepiece, this borage was photographed at 1/40th sec, at f8. A tiny fraction of a second, a small aperture in the … More Life in Miniature- Look, See, Pray

I See… Look, See, Pray

April 25, 2024

I was photographing the Alchemilla Mollis with its necklace of raindrops. Pretty! Now then… is it enhanced or spoilt by the two spiders? You didn’t see the spiders? Neither did I when I was taking the shot. I was so focussed on getting the right focus of the raindrops that I missed seeing the livestock. … More I See… Look, See, Pray

As The Wind Blows- Look, See, Pray

April 11, 2024

Dandelions are prolific seeders. Brilliant yellow flowers have fed the early bees, now the urge to reproduce has taken over. Fluff-balls of white parachutes wait for the wind to blow, then gleefully depart for a place of their own (usually in gardener’s prize flower plots, it seems!). Therefore dandelions have a bad reputation. Once landed, … More As The Wind Blows- Look, See, Pray

See You Later- Look, See, Pray

April 5, 2024

Today I attended a funeral. Many people came to say their farewells; we shared memories and experiences, and gave thanks for a long life, well lived. It was a story of faith and obedience, from his earliest years until his eventual departure. Was it a whitewash? You know, that temptation to only speak well of … More See You Later- Look, See, Pray

Laugh Or You’d Cry- Look, See, Pray

March 28, 2024

There’s always a clown. Drama needs clowns- and the circus requires clowns of all shapes. Including the sad faced ones. The drama of Good Friday is about to begin. In a darkened Garden, a man and a few friends face their midnight of the soul. Which is the clown? Is it Judas, who sold a … More Laugh Or You’d Cry- Look, See, Pray

How To Confuse A Cat – Look, See, Pray

March 21, 2024

This is our “not-our-cat” cat. He is about nine months old, and filling out to be quite a chunky boy. He regularly meets me when I return from the school run, and has appointed me as his trainer in hunting skills. We both have a good time! The grasses/palm leaves/pieces of string, not so much. … More How To Confuse A Cat – Look, See, Pray
