Descending to the lower levels, cheaper with less class

but sometimes you know you have descended too far.

Whether on a boardwalk high above the ground

or one making passage easier across the ground

Paths entice. Where do they go?

Some merely a track of hardened dirt made by cattle who have passed this way many times before.

Some walking paths are fluid but the jungle too thick for penetrating the depths in any other way

Leading somewhere

To a place

or simply for enjoyment and exercise

or because the mystery means you must follow and see where it ends.

Partnerships

are based on trust, whether on the ground

or high in the sky.

Partnerships are based on friendship (in this case spanning 75 years) and love between mother and daughter

Partnerships are mutual, a desire to be in sync with each other.

Edward, Prince of Wales chose to have a partnership with his cane whilst my Great Grandmother, minus a leg, had no choice to have a partnership with her crutches.

A partnership will be patient

working together in harmony.

There is, however, no greater partnership than a man with his ride-on mower.

Mirrors: Thursday’s Special

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

With mirrors,

Beauty can be doubled

IMG_3065

© irene waters 2016

or turn the thin to fat

IMG_4948

© irene waters 2016

IMG_4949

© irene waters 2016

remove the body from the body

IMG_4624

© irene waters 2016

or turn things up side down

giving length in watery mirrors,

too shallow for one to drown.

A dribble, a trickle

Or metres into the air

Fountains bubble and spurt

whether modern or ancient

They entice, calming savage minds.
