Bookcover for The Summer Realm Book 1, Agents of Secrets and Lies by Michael Wombat, Victoria Pearson, Lisa Shambrook and Miranda Kate. It depicts a grey parrot with a bright red tail, grey and black-tipped wings open, flying over a snow-topped mountain range under a clear blue sky. It's framed by brass cogs and boiler plates.

Lake McKenzie, a sweet water lake on the all sand & tropical rainforest island, Frazer Island, in Queensland, Australia. 1998. It was spectacular.
A clear water lake, on white sand. A strip of almost completely white sand, then the first strip of the still lake water is turquoise and drops to a royal blue. In the distance, on the other side, is a dark line of forest, under a clear blue sky.

That time we decided to quit the standstill traffic on the motorway and go over the Gotthard pass in Switzerland, after our holiday in Italy. 2014
A view across the mountainous landscape of Switzerland in the summer. All the hills are covered in green forests and grass. In between, in the valley are clusters of buildings of the townd and the main road. The blue sky is scattered with white clouds.

I watch you dance,
full of life & air,
& ache to join you.
But these days I feel
the squirm of Death.
A smithereen once,
now it spreads inside
like blacksmear mould
creeping over old bones.
One day soon,
its wiry filaments rending my veins,
it will take me
& this door
will slam
shut.

Botanical Gardens, Barbados. 1999. Back in my skinny days.
Me standing on a slanting grass hillside, next to a palmtree, behind there is a view to the sea.

Recently in Bonaire (Dutch Caribbean). Lac Cai beach on Lac Bay. No one there. Stunning.
A white sand beach and calm turquoise ocean water, and mangroves running up to the shore in the distance.

#SundayPixOffTheBeatenTrack Recently I tried a new walking route. It was much longer than my usual so I sat here for a rest. No one around. Its about a much of the beaten track as you can get in Holland.
Lpoking out from a picnic table across a grass park-like area at a lake, with a tree in the left. The sky is clear blue.

Tyneham village - abandoned in 1943 to become a training ground for allied forces. It’s like a time-capsule frozen in time.

Snow! Woken up to snow! A smattering, mostly on roof tops, but it's there.
