Nature’s Understated Glory
It is there clearly for all to see,
natural beauty from ground to tree.
Or birds in the sky of sparkling blue,
also, creatures wild and free, not in a zoo!
Streams and rivers teaming with life too,
appreciation of what we have we must renew!
Mindful of all life is what will keep us alive,
together then we can healthily grow and thrive.
John
And the word art version is here.
There is a selection of my art on canvas and other mediums available in my Bonanza Shop here.
I have two self-help stories available exclusively on Amazon, either on the Kindle or paperback, and I do hope that you find them interesting, thought-provoking, and, most of all, enjoyable: -
This simply written short story is aimed at those who seek to understand themselves, and through understanding themselves comes a greater understanding of life.
(as witnessed by his brother)
Much has been written about Jesus, and no matter your view on religion or Christianity, this person, whether he was as described in the bible or not, has singularly shaped, to a greater or lesser extent, the lives we lead today through his wisdom. There are many versions of the story, but there is only one truth, and is it not better to know the truth?
You are most welcome to visit my self-help youtube channel Advantage Subliminal
And you will find an excellent read in this story by my son Colin, and it is here.

This Morning
I have not been out doing my normal jogging routine this week, rather I have been resting my knees which are not as young as they used to be. I have, however, gone out walking, and today I took my camera. I like to get out early and I have never seen anybody this week until this morning but more on that later.
Now just to set the scene, if something catches my eye I photograph it and over the years I have taken some interesting shots. Today I started my walk before 6am, I had to wait until it started to get light. The full moon was still bright in the sky.
I saw a brown smudge which turned out to be an alert wild roe deer watching me in the distance, that is the larger photo above, followed by a cropped and enlarged version, where you can see it better.
Then there were two.
I will just attach a selection pf photos from here without explanation. I will though touch upon the 'seeing no-one' except for today. I was walking along the path caught in the serenity of the early morning silence and the beauty of my surroundings when I heard a voice behind me. I looked around and saw a man walking his dog and as he got closer I could see and hear he was talking on his phone oblivious to what was going on around him. I wasn't eavesdropping but it was impossible not to hear his, at times, colourful language on the subject of a football (soccer) match. His wee dog was lovely and he managed a very quick response to my "Good Morning"!
