Caught high in a tree
Victim of very fickle wind,
A simple kite is strand’d
Stranded

Remember Icarus
Flying high can be fun
But remember, Icarus:
Keep away from the sun
Picture taken at Mandvi Beach in Kutch, Gujarat (western India)
A cow on the road
With her two horns
She ambles along the busy road
Mindless of traffic
A line of bollards
Keeping cars off pavements,
Lined up like soldi-ers:
Praise London’s bollards
Frozen pleasure
Kulfi: an Indian sweet,
Frozen joy:
Exquisitely enjoyable
Sailing by
On the water far below
Smoothly sails a barque
View’d from up on high
The River Dart viewed from the garden of Greenway House, which used to be the holiday retreat of author Agatha Christie from 1936 until her death in 1976.
Drawn on a hill
White horse on a green hill
A sign of human life
Visible from afar
White horse on a hillside near Westbury seen from a train window
Needle work
A needle passing
From one hand to another:
A fine cloth created
This craftsman in Bangalore (India) is weaving gold thread on to stretched cloth to create elaborate patterns: ‘zari’ work.
The skull
Arms and the man,
The hunting is over,
Only a dry skull remains
Tidy paws
Paws on a shiny bonnet
Leave no marks:
There is but a fine shadow
