The rest of our relaxing (and short) trip was a treasure hunt for bright colours... easy to find... here are a few more

Seeing Through Grateful Eyes

I'm currently experiencing one of life's inevitable truths... the slow death of a parent. Surrounded by emotions from my siblings and Mom, concerned looks of friends, and loads of optimistic messages from angels on social media; I decide to return to a place that brings me peace. I decided to stop and see the beauty … Continue reading Seeing Through Grateful Eyes

Pillars of our Family – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Our parents, pillars of our family, Forever reminding us of our roots, Of how we grew together, hand in hand, Through scraped knees and ice cream cones.

Winter – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Winter, a season of contrasts and contradictions, A time of snow and ice, darkness and light, For some, it's a wonderland of magic and imagination, Where the world is cloaked in a blanket of white.

Unusual Urbanities – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

The city breathes and pulsates, A living, shifting entity, Unpredictable and constantly changing, Like a chameleon shedding its skin. The waterfront docks were once its heart, The beating centre of international trade, With ships laden with goods from faraway lands, Docked in rows, a vibrant hive of commerce. But time marches on, and the city … Continue reading Unusual Urbanities – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

So Far Unused – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

A cement planter stands still, Stained by long ago use, By seasons of sun and ice, A witness to the changing times. Radiating heat and serenity, It sits on the landscaped riverside, Watching waves, birds, and people, As they enjoy the beautiful day on the river. Through the years, it has seen much, The ebb … Continue reading So Far Unused – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Nature’s Collage – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

leaves dance with moss, living and dead plants intertwined, discarded feathers, animal hair, bits of human garbage, all part of the symphony. Strings and paper, plastic and debris, transformed by the elements, into something new, something wild, a visual playground for the imagination. Each viewer sees their own story, a unique journey of the mind, … Continue reading Nature’s Collage – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Unimaginable – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind

Through the woods I wandered, lost in thought and contemplation. As I strolled, the foliage whispered secrets, and the earth sighed beneath my feet. And then I glimpsed it, something so inexplicable that it defied description. My mind struggled to comprehend it, for it was like nothing I could imagine. It was as if the … Continue reading Unimaginable – Monochromes in a Colourful Mind
