Pogue, I went to Japan firstly to see the autumn foliage. The acers turning red which is quite something. Think I’m crazy to travel halfway around the world to see nature at work? Someone said to me, “God has painted the trees to captivate us”. I guess they were right! Somehow, whatever man does, at … Continue reading Songs To Pogue…What I’m Listening To Now

The Trees
The trees don’t care If I run through them stark nakedWith my arse all bareThe trees just smileWhen I continue walking all dayFor far too many a mileThe trees never mindWhen I hide in the woodsBecause the world’s so unkindThe trees share the breezeWhen my soul is undoneAnd I’m needing some easeThe trees are a … Continue reading The Trees
Long Shadow

And, as is usually the way, having put that out other similar thoughts and ideas returned to me. Synchronicity, don’t you just love it! So I came across a quote from a … Continue reading Monday Musings
Monday Musings
Hi Pogue, I’ve not sent you a photo before so here’s one I took last Friday. Magnificent silver birches trees. As I stood admiring these impressive albinos a friend said to me, “You could miss the wood for the trees” and that set me thinking. The saying has always made me think. Like, what does … Continue reading Monday Musings
