a quick rainstorm lit up the colours on the japanese sand cherry and one of the ferns that lives in the front garden . . . 

folded petals

almost like a finger pointing the way . . . .

why i ride

in the middle of the pain, a beautiful moment unfolds . . . my friends at the end of a gorgeous green tunnel . . . .

connected . . .

brothers and sisters . . .

paint and rust . . .

on one face of a small shed by the side of some abandoned railway tracks . . .

the abandoned railway switch

warmth

on a strangely but pleasantly cold july night, what could be nicer than a campfire with friends in a backyard not far from the river . . .

wonder . . .

“all this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered.”

kenneth grahame, the wind in the willows
