Blue Sky Thinking

One end of the ancient West Front, has
its beauty further enhanced

This morning I collected several photographs of shadows and dappled light. It seemed to be everywhere beneath an utterly sapphire blue sky. There was cumulus overhead in an azure heaven contributing to the marvellous interplay of 'brightness and ombre in the Abbey Gardens, themselves already, in any light, a delight! There were few people around and those I met or passed were smiling, quite in tune with the day's perfection and not necessarily noticing the shadow play but instinctively feeling that all was well with the world.

The Linnet, reflecting ....

Part of the Great Churchyard being
shaved this morning

Elegant interplay, looking towards
the old ruins

This is hardly a real blog; more a little snapshot of my morning walk on a perfect day. It does also, incidentally, reflect the time and opportunity for a person, an old person with time and inclination to spare, to look around her and ponder and notice. One of the many luxuries of ageing, indeed!
