And so it begins….

Another year, another lap of the Sun completed, another year older, another year wiser? 😉

I feel that as we age, time passes more quickly but it’s just a fallacy, isn’t it? Time is an abstract concept 🙂

If we never had years, months, days, hours, seconds, would things be different?

Most of our inventions have done nothing to improve life on our wee planet, or have they? I’m not a great fan of borders or religions, like most labels, they simply create division.

What brought that on?

I’ve just been out for a walk and it was probably down into the -11 degrees region in the wind. I came back, soaked in a hot bath with a glass of dark, spiced rum and ruminated. Maybe it’s the rum?

Why? Well, on Jan 1st we settled down to watch some TV, we don’t have terrestrial TV so it’s all streamed for us and I’ve found that my attention span isn’t what it used to be.

Ooooh Chaffinch! WoW look at the sunset!

So I found myself staring into the flames of our wood burner, I don’t remember what we were watching.

*Please feel free to tap or click on any image to enlarge it.

The reason I mention the enlarging options is, I’d love to know what you see? As I edited these this morning, I found myself looking at each and every one for some interest but I also realise that may well be MY interest, not yours?

Do you see anything? Are they just images? Just flames in a fire?

Some screamed out at me with another image, I’ll drop my thoughts by each one where I see that.

*If you tap or click , the image title and number should be available, if you’d like to comment.

I’m still finding some them quite mesmerizing.

I was singing the Talking Heads song as I edited that one! Burning Down the House

This is probably similar to staring at clouds? Ever watch The Men Who Stare at Goats?

I looked at this one and wondered, what do you see here?

Flames can be sinuous, sensuous and enticing, you are drawn in, away somewhere. Away in a dwam as we say.

I loved these solo flames, such beautiful shapes they form.

I think, if you stare long enough, you can see something in every one?

“Six saintly shrouded men, move across the lawn slowly, a seventh walks in front, a cross held high in hand” Supper’s Ready

Below, I see a woman stretching back, arms held out, silks draped from her left arm…..

I’ve really enjoyed editing these shots and putting them onto this page, I looked at them again as I added each one ….

Maybe you only see some photographs? Maybe you see your own visions?

I’d love to hear what you see. 🙂

Remember – You should be able to tap or click every one if you want to refer back, the title should appear. 🙂
