Winter in Wells, Norfolk


After the hint of doom and gloom in last week's entry, look at this for an uplighting sight. Yes, the seals have come out in Wells, here in the UK, for a bit of people watching. What you can't see, is the other side of the camera, where an orderly line of people has gathered to see this wonderful sight. Seal mums with their cubs in the milky sunlight. Enough to bring-out the poet in everyone.

This is also the week where Jennifer had an eye op to remove a cyst. Painful, yes, but what a place to test the clarity of vision.

So I declare that Spring is here, and I am moved to write a line or two:

Stretch your finger, cup your hand,
break the mercury in the sand:
each rounded pool of light
lets us determine what is right.

Thanks for sharing the photo. The seals remind me of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, for some reason.

Keep your camera out on those milky days.
