Summer Leaf

Here in Blackheath, the streets are lined with freshly bedecked trees. There's been decent falls of rain. Everything looks enlivened and optimistic. There are few things more simple and yet more beautiful than sunlight striking new leaves in just the right way. Of course one has to be alive to appreciate such things. 

One of my younger brothers passed away a few days back. It was all expected of course but no amount of mental preparation has exempted me from my present feelings, it seems.

Apologies for yet another one of my absences. I HAD resolved to blip everyday over the long term but the will to do so has been missing this last week.
