Confession time- I love them all. Big, little, bright, subtle, any shade I can get. I’m not a purist about daffs- I simply rejoice to see them nodding at me as I pass by. … More Purist? Look, See, Pray
I love the perfect ones, and try to photograph the daffs in best condition. But they are competing with weather, slugs and snails, birdies and beasties, and being a daffodil is hazardous duty. … More Imperfect? Look, See, Pray
One of our local Facebook groups is having a problem with “anonymous” posters. Some people are complaining volubly about it.

Bullies … More Anonymous? Look, See, Pray
Your home, your workplace, your church, depends on YOUR presence: and through you, God’s Presence is made known. You are the daffodil that lights the pathway for the ones passing by. … More Shine for a Reason- Look, See, Pray
We all like to think that things will get better: that Spring will melt the heart of Winter, so life will be more comfortable (and warmer): and I’m not just talking about the weather. … More Which Way to Spring? Look, See, Pray

I have mixed feelings as April ends. It happens every year when the daffs in the garden finally finish their cheery display; there is usually a bit of a break between their passing and the next influx of colour. This year I have marked it by photographing the “Last Trumpet of Spring.” The trumpet is still big, brassy and bold but the other petals are fading fast. Yet the warm spring sunshine glows through it- at first glance it is still gorgeous. But change is coming and the daffodils are departing. … More Sad Trumpet- Look, See, Pray
I went to the local park which has been partially flooded. It could have been quite depressing- but the daffodils had other ideas. Surviving the gales, the downpours and floods, their beautiful golden crown-and-trumpets resolutely proclaimed hope. So a simple thought for today: every time you see daffodils, remember Paul’s instruction to the early Christians: … More Hope on a stick – Love, See, Pray
I have a love-hate relationship with winter. Good bits, like sparkling frosty mornings, and bad bits like short days and gloomy weather.
Over the years I have discovered a link between winter and my own spirituality. … More Winter Weariness – Look, See, Pray
