Photo: Marahau (windy gardens) at low tide, the marsh where seabirds gather
They stood here and there
Like little soldiers
The twigs !
Like little herons
Scrawny in the world
Of marsh and dead wood
In the microcosm
Of damp sand living
In a vibrant silence

photo: Nothing more inviting than a public bench by the sea, Pohara
... and I will stay there
I will hardly move
I will look like nothing
as if I were keeping silent
and I will try
just to look
and to silence my thoughts
photo : Marahau (jardins venteux, windy gardens), à marée basse
photo : a sky and some clouds
at this time of year
clouds take their place in the sky
for the cold season
photo: une autre photo ratée techniquement mais que j’aime tout de même en raison du contraste entre le fin tracé des fougères et le bleu ombrageux, Marahau, aux abords du parc Abel Tasman/another failed photo technically, that I like any because of the contrast between the fine lines of the fern and the shady blue behind.
