Janey...

The dry ditch awakes

as lonely puddles lengthen,

reflecting

shadows

(from Alistair 😊)

Helen...

First frosts of autumn 

Come gently, silvering grass,

Sharpening blue air.

Janey...

A friendship restored,

misunderstandings redeemed - 

suddenly sunshine 💛

Helen...

Riverside cafe:

People talk, drink coffee while

The leaves are turning.

Janey...

Icy north winds

give way to wild westerlies -

Oh, 

Aberystwyth 💙

Helen...

Caught between seasons

Sun still warm on our backs but

Wind whispers of cold.

Janey...

Sun, October gold,

nasturtiums and pink fuschia 

complete my palette

Helen...

Dawn’s transforming light

Turns the village red and gold

And then melts away.

Janey ...

Three things:

A crisp autumn breeze,

smiles lighting strangers' faces,

the full moon tide's roar

Helen...

Topsy turvy times.

Sunday: cold, wet, glowering 

Monday: hot bright sun

Janey...

Woodsmoke memories,

subtle as an early mist,

entrancing the air

Helen...

Butterflies are back!

Scalloped commas, cabbage whites

Soaking up the sun.

Janey...

Whitecaps in the bay,

seaweed scent and laughing dogs -

my morning complete

Helen...

 These autumn colours!

Red Geum, Echinacea

Graceful white toadflax.
