Telling the bees. The old custom of keeping the bees informed and hanging a mourning cloth over the hive so as to avoid ill-luck or losing the hive.

Once upon a time (wind cool, air floating) stepped into a sunrise gathering in a bright moment. Listening to the lullaby rolling of the sea. Here, in meter, rhythm, sound, is our essence. My eyes translate everything and nothing. Woven in ribbons of sunlight I tread the path home
August 2nd 5.30am

A wildness in the wind. Rain soaked grasses. Glimpses of blue between cloud filled greys. Watching the sky to see where the light falls. Wondering what stillness can carry the flow and crease of surface tension. Another day of blurred hours.

Window on the sea
Late out into wind and rain. Grey, but distances hold a promise of brighter later. Water moving against its reflective skin. Gulls squalling on the chimney pots, the rocks, the breakwater, against the dim bulb of sunrise colouring the distances.

A hushed and breathless morning. The mellow, distinct "poo ee" of the ringed plovers are the first sounds to greet us. The silver-soft sea rippling saltwater tears on the sands as we thread the pathways amongst the drying grasses.
