As the rain fell, I noticed this single droplet forming. The colours in the branch and the soft wash of green behind it held my attention longer than expected. A small pause in the middle of a passing shower — brief, delicate, and easy to overlook.

Morning Stretch - Two mallards drift in the soft morning light. One stretches, wings wide, briefly breaking the calm surface of the water. It’s an ordinary scene, repeated every day, yet never quite the same; light, movement, and timing aligning for a moment before slipping back into routine.

Between Day and Night

A quiet visitor. Part of our small effort to attract birds into the garden. Patience rewarded, briefly.

Waiting on the pitch. Hockey is as much about patience as it is about play.

A quiet shoreline. Waves repeat, the lighthouse holds, everything else drifts.

Sunrise over still water — the day beginning in layers of colour and calm.
