Daffodil Magic

April Daffodils in Victoria, BC

Daffodil Magic

I stopped my car to see Daffodils

splattered like paint on canvas hills,

an enchanting and wondrous sight.

There in the golden morning light,

their yellow faces shone so bright

as if Nature had painted each Flower

giving it the awesome power

to banish cares away that day.

With such great Beauty everywhere,

I took many photos to treasure

and view later with savoured pleasure.

Photos may hold Daffodil Beauty

but their Magic is still in me.

A healthy hug 💕✨

Vancouver Island

I live where the Eagles are,

down below their nest.

In Canada’s Winter, I watch

Canada Geese circle and rest.

Here on Vancouver Island,

I walk beneath tall trees

in young and ancient forests

feeling in tune, in harmony.

No life goes unchallenged,

still I am greatly blessed

living here with the Eagles

and feeling the Spirit of the West.

Beneath a Tree

A Moody Sky

/ Flowerpoet / 2 Comments

I took this photo today on a drive along the Beach Drive in Victoria. This is a colour photo appearing greys, blacks and whites of a noir like setting. A moody sky. I posted a similar shot on my second site called FlowerpoetShelley launched today. It will also be devoted to my interests in Arts and Crafts including Photography. Today I also started playing with mixed media using acrylics and paper mosaics on canvas. Nothing planned as usual…. feels like more fun when it’s a spontaneous creation. I’ll post a photo of it if it’s something worth sharing.

Weaving Completed

As ever with my weavings, Victoria The Beautiful is not perfect but it’s exactly the way I want it to be. I enjoyed the unhurried and unplanned process. Although I say it’s finished, I think perhaps I will add one or two small scrolls of my poetry and some momentos I’ve yet to gather.

The fringe on the right refers the the colour feelings I identify with this city of Victoria, BC, Canada…calm, cool and collected even in challenging times. The greens represent the mosses, lichens, leaves of trees and shrubs, the pinks and whites of the cherry trees, the purplish pinks of heathers, the yellows of broom blossoms, bright pinks and oranges of the many flowers here, the grey of the sea and sky, the blue and white of the sky on sunny days, the pebbles and rocks of the beaches, the peacock colours I identify as the vibes of this beautiful city…

As I said before, it’s not perfect but it’s exactly the way I want it to be.

Victoria The Beautiful

Victoria The Beautiful is the name I’ve decided to give my beaded weaving as this city on Vancouver Island is a beautiful place to live.

There are many glorious peacocks in Beacon Hill Park near my home. I always think of these wondrously divine creations when I think of Victoria.

I just have a few finishing touches to do now that the beadwork is done. Then I’ll be able to hang it on our wall if I can find a place. I seem to be running out of space. 🤣
