tiger striped spider

on her web masterpiece

blowing in the wind





lone rook in rowan tree

looks at Lough Atalia –

what does it see?

Spider lace window

of the holiday hut…

end of season

 

 

 

Light axis descends…

the long reach of daylight hours

releases – solstice

 

 

 

The nerviness

of black ice –

job interview

 

 

 

Even the cooker

needs a hot water bottle!

hoar frost this morning

June afternoon

ants searching for food

on the tiled bathroom wall





Beach lady

and a baggy T-shirt

embracing yoga

Sycamore seeds fall –

helicopters twirling on

their maiden voyage

Martin Vaughan, Dublin

 

gorse alight!

the hillside gasping

for water

 

 

 

sundown –

the slag-heap disappears

by getting bigger

 

 

 

autumn rain –

bare back Slievenamon

hibernating beneath a veil

 

 

 

lining her swallows up

to swap for brent, mallard, starling –

autumn

 

 

 

amber lit paths

littered with leaves –

days shrinking

 

 

 

rainbow –

finding gold on sea walls

spotted with lichen

 

 

 

on Dolymount Bridge –

summer winds and rain lashing

against the grain

 

 

 

no gulls today –

wind from the village carries

the screech of cars

Aisling White, Co. Dublin

 

bog grasses in the evening – 

a seagull

absorbs the light

 

 

 

monastic high cross –

on one arm, a robin,

on another, the moon

 

 

 

spring dew

on a spider's web –

communion veil

 

 

 

shop window –

sparkling in the dark,

Orion’s reflection

 

 

 

bloodhound

running on all fours

and a nose

 

 

 

beach sunrise

the fog returns

a dog's bark

 

 

 

summer meadow –

the sea breeze

hushed by lark song

 

 

 

seaside excursion –

sand in the bath

this evening
