It sweeps in silently on the wind. A sudden sheet of rain is thrown at the window, rattling like gravel on windows and roofs. As quickly as it arrives, it disappears.

14th December 2013 – weeping tree
Golden tresses wave in the pale sunlight. Fire colours flicker – red, yellow, orange. Leaves slowly burning, their tiny flames fanned by the bitter winter wind.
30th October 2013 – crows
Their rounded backs are turned against the wind, sitting in a row on a service station sign. A Halloween foursome, heralding the darkness of tomorrow.

Graceful, it catches the wind like a bird. Its white wings turn, producing energy which is almost visible, fizzing and whirling between its blades, as they move against the bright blue sky.
