Shades of coral

 Shades of coral...


... are sometimes darker in hue...


 ... an explosion of warmth and perfection...


... often too good to be true...


... whether in flight...
 

... or simply looking at you!


Found first thing in the morning...


... or sometime around sundowner...
 

... often in the oddest of places...
 

... and always welcome at my table...
 

Shades of coral gently colour my days...


... and quieten my nights.

Our world....


Some days I am so lost for words I have to leave it to others...

Bali Ha'i will whisper...

Most people long for another island...


One where they know they will like to be...


 Someday you'll see me floatin' in the sunshine...


My head stickin' out from a low flyin' cloud...


Singin' through the sunshine

 
If you try, you'll find me...


Where the sky meets the sea...


Here am I, your special Island...


Come to me...
 Come to me...


Bali Ha'i 
Bali Ha'i 
Bali Ha'i!

It's simple. It's all in the detail

An adored face carved in stone 


Adorned with a string of orange


Holding a white pebble


Such beauty


Such simplicity


It's all in the detail!

Glipmses into Ubud markets


Three times we went back to the market 
and every time I saw something new


The friendly fruit-seller had a sweet face and even sweeter fruit



I fell in love with the scales - but alas they were too heavy to carry home...
and they were not for sale!


The corridors were so narrow single file was the only way through
 

My passion for baskets was well and truly satiated!




Lunch was taken on the run...
 

And the car park attendant was very busy attending some 500 motorbikes!


By mid-afternoon, for some boredom had set in



As pale blue umbrellas provided scant shade from the relentless heat 
and tropical showers 


To say it was steamy would be an understatement!


But the colours, the smells and the noise were intoxicating!
 

Love the madness and mayhem of a local market.

The allure of the Sea

She pulls
She pushes



She splashes
She teases


She beckons
She cajoles 
As she leaves trails of droplets 
and laughter


She’s generous,
And like a cat with a mouse
She leaves behind her,
Wet and bedraggled treasures


She’s warm and inviting
Never  sleeps
And always has the last laugh


She cavorts joyously along the sands
Momentarily settling on broken shells
Before running back to her mother


Today she is a soft, sea green
Highlighted by masterful strokes of azure and crystalline
Her palette always changing as the winds kiss her waves


Her horizon is serene and still
Like the seven Halcyon days in the summer solstice
When the seas were at peace
And the kingfisher bore her young



A tantalising siren’s song
She is lovingly embraced


And always alluring



She is... 


The sea!
