Janey ...
After the wild wind and rain,

My battered garden.

Helen...
Frost sparkling in early sunshine, lambs bouncing about, birds squabbling.

Janey...

Magnolias bedecked in all their finery. The blue, blue sky...


Helen...

Neighbour’s cherrytree waving dusky pink blossom years after she died.

Tiny overnight raindrops jewelling delicate branches in the morning light.

72 micro-seasons 6

Janey...
Suddenly St David's Day. Yellow daffodils smiling and nodding everywhere

Helen...
Even in this cold the grass grows under moonlit skies.

Janey...
The pink flowering currant, first, always, to display its finery

Helen...
Hellebores’ dusky pink heads now brighten our back door pots.
