Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, I’ve been making things for my gorgeous new-born grandson Bodhi ~ my clever daughter Jessica McCallum‘s latest creation.
However, today my muse smiled as I was reading updates on Facebook and 2 photos inspired me.
A friend in Cork, Patrick Cotter posted a colourful picture of his socks; “These single socks seem to think I have nothing better to do than run a dating agency for them.” and I couldn’t help myself:
Dating
A colourful
individual;
a well-heeled
single, looking
for a match,
with similar need.

And another artistic friend on Facebook, Aaron Pocock posted a photo of “2-3 watercolours from the last couple of days” of these beautiful Australian birds :
Splendid Blue
In breeding plumage
his world knows no guns,
only the garden sprays
killing his insect food.
Still, he flits and flirts,
happy in his life work.
Seeking shades of brown
and grey among the twigs.
There, a most superb mate
waits, quietly seed-feeding
to proliferate their kind.
A species not in danger – yet.
