It is Written… Look, See, Pray

March 27, 2025

WE DON’T KNOW WHAT HE WROTE! Aargh! How frustrating… Written in the sand, and blown away by the wind. … More It is Written… Look, See, Pray

Tetelestai – Perfect

March 24, 2025

In English we have many ways to talk about when something happened. Oh yes, this post is going to be very in-tense! (If you’re about to shudder and remember Year 4th grammar with old Mr Slater, breathe. It’s OK. This is me. We’ll be fine.) I found this handy-dandy chart that shows English tenses. We’re … More Tetelestai – Perfect

The Joy of Discovering- Look, See, Pray

March 21, 2025

Imperfect? Look, See, Pray

March 7, 2025

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

Temptation of Jesus – Ps 91, Lk 4

March 3, 2025

A Reflection The Devil! What do you think of when you hear that – a dapper chappy with pointy beard and horns? A comic strip character dressed in red with a pitchfork and a pointy tail? It’s all a bit cartoony, a bit story-book, isn’t it? As grown-ups, surely we’ve got beyond such childish notions. … More Temptation of Jesus – Ps 91, Lk 4

Smile Please! Look, See, Pray

February 27, 2025

Choosing my picture was difficult. I have taken many meerkats photos, some with regal stares- and a few with squabbles- but THIS meerkat gazed at me with lovely brown eyes and the hint of a smile. … More Smile Please! Look, See, Pray

Details – Look, See, Pray

A Lamp Shines- Look, See, Pray

January 16, 2025

It’s a bit late to write about carols, candles and Christmas. I’m grieving the disappearance of the Christmas light displays from our locality… all the joy and fun of the illuminations made the streets brighter and better. … More A Lamp Shines- Look, See, Pray

Backwash- Look, See, Pray

January 10, 2025

Another Divine gift to the human race. A world where everyday normalcy translates into a heavenly sonnet for the ears of those who will listen. God is not silent. … More Backwash- Look, See, Pray

Duck The Baptist! Look, See, Pray

December 5, 2024

It’s always a joy when a photo catches a “moment” of action or a humorous pose… This mallard was enthusiastically immersing himself (and any other fowl that came near) in a flurry of feathers and spray. … More Duck The Baptist! Look, See, Pray
